I've had games with native Linux versions on Steam break more times than games I play through Proton

With Proton it's usually temporary, and is fixed with a new release. When native Linux games break it has been permanently, because the developers stop maintaining it. Though it might be worth mentioning that I mostly play multiplayer and I consider a game "broken" if I no longer can play together with my friends who use Windows

    How many of these games target a proper Steam Linux Runtime? My guess is none and your experience is based on ancient Linux versions from a time SLR did not exist.

    Of course. "Valve refuses to promote it towards developers" I literally wrote that already.

    Proton is a hacky workaround, targeting and properly maintaining Steam Linux Runtime is the proper solution but Valve does not promote this, so nearly nobody knows about it, and Lepton could be a properly promoted, directly based on AOSP instead of reverse engineering option, should Valve bring it to x86. That's literally what I wrote already.
