      Linux native is just not a priority for devs since Proton pretty much removed the need to make them

          If the performance is the same it’s not going to matter. Is native ideal? Yes, but if it runs perfectly on proton and at performance parity with Windows, it doesn’t matter. Proton was a massive “fuck you” to Microsoft. It removes the Windows requirement without creating any negatives.

              I daily drive Linux every damn day and I’ve had multiple scenarios where Linux runs better than Windows. Guild wars 2, elden Ring, TF2, csgo, dota2 running vulkan. I would never go back to Windows…and it is problem free, running AMD hardware and I’ve never messed with drivers ever, and installing games is as easy as clicking install. How is that so fucking hard to accept?

            The performance is not the same. Games will always run slightly worse on Proton. Pretending there are no negatives is just crazy.

            I love Proton as much as the next guy, but it’s no replacement for natively supported games.

              It’s nearly the same if not better in damn near every game I’ve played…guild wars 2 for instance had a 10-20 fps increase in certain areas on my Linux install over my Windows 11 install. It happens, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but I daily drive endeavourOS and I would never go back to Windows and miss out on so many options to play my games better than I could on Windows.
