There is no Linux gaming without Proton, being feed from Windows games, developed on Windows, by Windows developers that will put up with this issues, because they still see no value on targeting Linux natively, and couldn't care less.

Linux might finally take off on the desktop if the normies that get Windows laptops and gaming rigs at Media Market and similar chains, finally get to them with Linux pre-installed.

Otherwise there will be a few HN folks getting them from System 76 and Tuxedo, Dell online store, and that is about it.
