Oh wow, a nice cherry picked list that goes over the issue I said still needs to be fixed.
Meanwhile let's compare what people are actually playing. Of the top 1000 games on steam, 34 don't work.
Now how about all of steam? Oh, looks like it keeps the same rate.
Windows is similar, it's just old games you'll run into issues with, which incidentally often work better on proton.
The issue that needs to be fixed is the entire problem. Or did you skip over the first part of the thread?
Just skip over the part where it's 3 percent of games that don't work, not 40.
Also, please explain how your response makes sense in this conversation:
Person: "Linux gaming has gotten really good lately"
You: "Try it without proton" (This implies you think there's something wrong with games running on proton even if they're working)
Me: "Why, proton works?"
You: "It's a substandard experience"
Me: "There's a few games it doesn't run, but for the ones it does how is it substandard?"
You: "Games don't run" (this doesn't address your issues with proton, the games that do run only do so because of proton, without it and wine it'd be a million times worse)
Basically every response of yours seems like you're bitter people like something you don't. Literally every gamer acknowledges anticheat is a problem still, there's no point in discussing it here. Nobody's trying to force you to switch to Linux.
If you want to actually discuss the technical merits and downsides of proton, wine, dxvk, etc. I'm happy to, but if you're just going to be bitter about people enjoying things, please seek out a therapist.
