Sorry but how did you only have 10% running on linux a few months back? I run every game except apex legends, warzone and fornite... This is ridiculous misinformation of you

I've based my information on what Steam says: https://store.steampowered.com/linux

I honestly don't know what to say about the misinformation accusation. Blame the publishers, I guess?

I've since learned from this thread that it doesn't accurately reflect how well games run using Proton.

Honestly proton running the windows version under linux is typically better polished, better performing, and more compatible than the "official" native linux version that most publishers put out, except in very rare circumstances where the developer actually understands and uses Linux and makes it a primary development focus. It's counterintuitive, but proton actually is that good (also most official linux releases are pretty lazy, like "console ports" if not worse).

Complaining how it is misinformation and listing multiple examples of how it is not is a new one to me.

They only need a games list of 30 games and the games you mentioned to have 10% not working on Linux statistic.

Not everyone has 600+ games.

Learn to read next time, maybe u will understand something in life, jezus, literally said i run all games except these ones, like what is that logic u use?
