pretty cool visualisation, though it’s not obvious where they get the 90% for me either. But for example if you take the Top 1000 games, 89% of them either have a plat, gold or silver medal, which sounds quite equivalent to “works on Linux”. There is an “all steam games” option, but the issue is that most games haven’t had any feedback from anyone on protondb
Currently on Steam:
19338 games are compatible with Linux and SteamOS
While there are 145462 games on Steam
Which only translates to 13,3% of games on Steam being compatible with Linux.
It is better than before, but where the fuck do they get 90% from?
the first paragraph has a link to a protondb dashboard:

edit: the stat comes from the second link https://boilingsteam.com/windows-games-compatibility-on-linux-is-at-a-all-time-high/ which uses as a sample all of the steam games rated on protondb
Iirc correctly, those are just the Linux native ones. A game doesn’t have to be native to play just fine on Linux though.
