Didn't valve test this sort of thing over a decade ago and found Linux to easily get better performance?

    Yes.

    Kind of.

    Its... why they spent that decade making Proton, and now basically have an OS based off of it.

    I mean literally yes, but, it could not exist in any meaningful way without Proton.

    Thats why I say its really built around Proton, they started with Proton and then said 'how do we make an OS that will work with/around this' and landed on Arch.

    The whole point of it is: Be a functional, efficient, fast, Linux OS that primarily plays video games.

    Thats impossible without Proton.
