I had finally convinced a friend to switch to Linux a few months ago. And they installed Steam and the first thing they said was "oh great none of my games work on Linux."

Lol. And I just thought man they should really just turn it on by default.

So I'm glad they're doing this now.

It was a little silly to have to change a setting away from the default given that nearly everything works on proton.

Its not even new linux users.

I semi-recently built a new PC and even having done this repeatedly... it took me longer than it should to have realized why re-adding my library folders didn't add those games to my installed games list.
