They do. We're already there.
The only titles that don't work are the ones with kernel level anti-cheat, and that needs to die anyway.
Are you serious? Most games can be played on Linux? I don't care about the kernel anti cheat games, since that shit is not going on my pc anyway
Proton is basically magic. I've got 1960 games on steam and I have a chunk that are listed as 'untested' but less than 10 that are listed as incompatible. The games listed as untested also usually end up just working. You may have to mess with proton or winetricks sporadically, but even that is very rare in my experience. It is nearly always an issue in a multiplayer game with anti-cheat when it just doesn't work.
@BarbecueCowboy @madcaesar That's basically my experience as well. Usually, the developers need to add a flag in their anti-cheat builds, and they'll just work; however, developers are frequently not interested.
