And with that, a shitton of games that weren't yet, are now also playable on Linux, sometimes on 1:1 parity with Windows performance. (sometimes even better)

I thank Steam for finally kicking the habit of using Windows as my browsing and gaming desktop.

My development and work rigs and laptops have been Linux based for over 2 decades.

But after attempting to go full time on my gaming system with Linux every couple of years, I always ended up going back to Windows because the compatibility issues couldn't be overcome at all, for some of the games I regularly played.

Now, while there's already a crapton of games that simply get released on Linux at launch, plenty have Windows targeted versions that simply work on Linux compatibility layers, thanks to Valve.
