It already is actually. Proton driver's are great.
Mandatory reference to Protondb, which lists how well every game performs on Linux. 84 % of the top 100 games on Steam are rated as gold or platinum.
Yeah, it's very well done. Only issue is anything with kernel level anticheats, need windows. Fuck that, so many great games besides gtav and call of duty.
Some games with Kernel level anti-cheat still have linux support, though. It‘s always worth checking because some game devs actually care about Linux when you would expect the don‘t.
I don't play too many of those, so have t checked
And if your favorite games don't work on proton because it's something like apex or league that is a personal failing on your part
What?
People who don't switch to linux because they are addicted to bad games are bad people.
No
yeah
that doesn't make them bad people, just addicted people.
what makes some of them bad people is when they are actively campaigning against Linux to cope with their insecurities.
