I don't think you realise how this "little change" drastically affect linux gaming.
No shit sherlock.
If they wanted to lock us on their platform, they would add a vendor lock on the steam deck(nothing stop you to install any others linux distro on it, or even windows even if i don't recommend it), they would not explain how to use proton outside of steam(which for them is a catch, because it gives the possibility to linux users to play steam cracked games), i probably forgot many others things but you got my point.
You seem to think we didn't use Wine to play Steam games before 2018. Hilarious.
Most peoples don't take the time to configure wine so yep it help
@Titou @lemmeee playing proprietary games based on proprietary libraries with proprietary art and music and stories but it’s ok because we didn’t use Windows
You seems to also not get my point but ok
Right? What's the point of using GNU/Linux if you are gonna run proprietary software on it? Obviously, more freedom is better, but those people don't understand that their goal should be to have complete freedom. So they get trapped in Valve's ecosystem, just like with Microsoft/Apple/Google. The most bizarre part is not that it happens, but that they are unable to recognize it even when pointed out to them.
