i don’t think anyone in this thread is saying we shouldn’t have proton, but just that it is holding back actual linux development. I for one love my steamdeck and use proton all the time.
but facts are facts, and there are less games being developed for linux because of proton.
I have several native Linux games but I use the Windows version on proton because it’s more reliable. The games used to work great but not so much anymore.
Yeah, outside of Stardew Valley and minecraft, my experience with linux native games has been… unpleasant. Meanwhile, the proton version of the same games have never given me issue.

Really?
Cause that implies wanting to get rid of it. You don’t tend to fondly keep as a momento the thorn in your foot… you rip it out and get rid of it.
You are the one choosing to read it that way and then hallucinating a whole sort of “perfection or nothing” argument from that.
Feels like you have some bone to chew, and I’m not exactly sure what kind of bone.
Sure buddy.
