I like that Valve on its own is tipping the scale on Linux adoption.

It’s fantastic, and I love that Steam Deck has enough use that Windows “anti cheat” malware is becoming less of a requirement.

Installing rooted software from sketchy 3rd party vendors being a prerequisite to run games is beyond stupid.

    Gaming was always one of the main excuses for average person to avoid Linux.

    Not that gaming was not possible before Proton, but it's finally zero effort (mostly, it's not like Windows gaming is without issues either).

    It’s still a pretty solid excuse for many - but once you make the switch and stick to games that actually run on Linux, it kind of starts running on its own as recent numbers show.
