Do you mean the setting called "Enable Steam Play for all titles" that was usually unchecked, that you'd have to go in and check, which some folks wouldn't do (because they might not have known they were supposed to?)
Yeah i had heard Linux gaming was good but when installed steam i found only like 10% of my games were showing as playable for Linux. Next day i realized i needed to turn on the proton option or whatever
Mfw i have been going into individual steam properties to select a proton version for all my games for the last 2 years.
RIP
Pretty sure this was me the last time I tried Linux gaming before buying the Steam Deck. One more problem solved before I upgrade Windows 10.
