Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it. But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn't support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.

gaming does work very well with it.

...is worth mentioning that gaming on LInux doesn't work very well because middle ware (anticheat and stuff) do expect weird things designed by Microsoft. See this in the case of ACPI:

It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me. Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this. Bill Gates quote

No it's not worth mentioning. At all.

I don't care. Gamers don't care. Nobody but people defending the honor of Linux care. They just want it to work.

Pro tip: I couldn't give a fuck that Nvidia doesn't work either.

You give off that vibe of "I got mine so fuck everyone else"

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

But it represents the reality and a huge barrier to entry.
