      Absolutely:

      • lots of games don’t work
      • anti-cheat games in general still don’t work, and that’s a massive market
      • some games have terrible perf through Proton

      That said, most games work fine on Linux, but the ones that don’t are pretty popular.

        Most anticheat isn’t a technical issue though, it’s just companies blocking Linux.

          I never said it was. I said it’s a problem that limits Linux adoption.

          No worries. I also don’t play MP, so the vast majority of games just work for me. However, we’re talking about broad market adoption, not you or me.

      I’d say, having to install ProtonGE to make a game work is still quite a hassle.
