I've been hearing that line for close to two decades. I don't think Valve even supports their old GoldSrc games that they ported to run on Linux way back.
Proton is still very new, and it's night-and-day better than any previous gaming experience on Linux. I don't think past trends necessarily apply

Agreed, however after months of being "Linux only" (Manjaro KDE + Proton), just this weekend I broke and installed a Windows as a dual-boot option. 90% of games with Proton "just work" like you said. It is amazing. But then there's that one game that doesn't work, or works but with half the fps... for me, it was Death Stranding. It runs at 60+ fps at 1440p on Windows, but runs at half that on Proton, with horrible ar…
I would think that Cyberpunk 2077 would have good Proton compatibility on day one. It runs on Stadia, which uses Vulkan.
Another Linux gamer. I seriously don't miss windows anymore. At this point I'm not worried about compatibility, but rather shitty game companies banning you the second they figure out you're playing on linux. This is especially an issue in PvE heavy games that have only small PvP elements. Looking at you Destiny 2. I really wish companies stopped their draconian policies about Linux gaming. Or at the very least just…
How does Stadia strike you as an alternative? It works on anything (AFAIK) that runs Chrome.

I was seriously considering adding Linux support for my game, that already has turn-based multiplayer, and this thread was the last thing I needed to convince myself it could work. Performance may be an issue. I wonder if people would be ok with electron games sold on steam running on linux...

Discord and spotify are both electron on Linux, so I would imagine it would work.
I've been using Linux as my main (and, really, only) personal OS since Windows 7 went EOL. I have an HTC Vive. There are many VR games that don't work at all even with Proton. There are many games that do work though. The only game that doesn't work that I truly miss is Planetside 2. But your typical big name games do work, even ones that aren't on Steam. Doom, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, EVE Online -- these all…
Awesome to hear! May I ask how you've gotten Space Engineers to work?
There's also a room in Keen Software House's Discord which is dedicated for unofficial Linux help. Sometimes a patch will break the game in an unexpected way. For example I remember a patch early this year that made it so that the version check would crash the game on Linux (something to do with KSH's HTTPS certificate) and the easiest solution was to just null-route the patch server address in iptables or blacklist the domain in pihole until a later patch fixed the problem.

You might know already, but https://www.protondb.com/ has user reports for Proton games, the reports often include tweaks if a game doesn't work without tweaking.
Yeah, I've checked there already, but the steps just didn't seem to work for me (it's a .NET/Mono app). Maybe it's just my specific system configuration or something ...
Run the autoprefix-patcher.py. It's unofficial and it's magic that I haven't taken too much time to understand. Your mileage may vary.

Gaming on Linux has been so fucking good. I switched from Windows to Linux a month ago and literally haven’t found a game I can’t play. Even Red Dead Redemption 2, Hades, Fallen Jedi, Ghostrunner... Oh the really icing on the cake is just how easy it all is. You literally just install the Windows version and things “just work.” Its amazing. I’ve said this a lot of times now but it’s pretty amazing to write code and p…
Yeah it's so good that I haven't bothered to boot Windows in months. The odd game doesn't work (Horizon, Zero Dawn for example) but it's so convenient to use Linux for everything I would rather just not play the game than to have to boot into Windows. Linux is just such a more quiet and less pushy experience, I find it relaxing.
