So if you put 50 Steam gamers in a room, one of them uses Linux. Possibly unknowingly since it’s just their Deck thay have in their bag, but it’s something.
Now we just need Valve to start releasing generic SteamOS install images, so when Windows 11-hating Windows gamers come over and ask which distro to use, we’ll have a definite answer for once.
They probably don’t see Proton on any hardware as up to the standard they have for stability and consistent performance across the board, I imagine if it is opened up to anything there will be a lot more edge cases causing problems. I imagine Proton will reach near 100% rate for supported games before they would release it to any hardware, basically when it makes sense to pivot Proton development to deal with edge cases rather than expanding its support, if that all makes sense.

Having a mainstream platform running Linux brings a tear to my eye.

Just oversimplified rhetoric. Apologies.
