   I said a few years ago that we'd only need about 10 years until Proton/Wine runs everything
   
   I'm already at the level where I just purchase any random shit on Steam and everything runs, I don't even have to check ProtonDB anymore

     @coolboymew It still fails on occasion, but this is more or less right. VR games do sometimes fail to run on Linux - and some of them kinda hurt - but it's a fair bet that a game will just work on Linux.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating no VR, so can't test, but yeah, I think Valve was saying it's not recommended for now

     @gamer @coolboymew That, and I think devs are afraid of losing out on the Steam Deck owner demographic, and make the small effort left to ensure their game works on Wine/Proton. Whereas before if it didn't work immediately any additional effort at all was too much for the like 3 potential linux users who might be interested.

     @guizzy @gamer there's also the fact that if the game doesn't work for you they'll refund it no question asked

     5-7 more years and everything will work, Bottles will be less shit or we'll have even better software, etc.

     @coolboymew I'm still waiting for a Wine/Proton equivalent for creative/Adobe/audiovisual stuff just to compete against Apple, Adobe, and Autodesk. Artists are still relying upon it for way too long.

     I am stubborn and will try 30 different runtime options for each version of proton, and sometimes it takes a few minutes to get to the part where it crashes. I've only had one game I've actually failed to get working though, and that's because I gave up and played the non-remastered version instead.
