Proton is the only hope for Steam Deck and desktop Linux

@gamingonlinux There are many problems with desktop Linux, but the biggest one keeping me off Linux is lack of game and application support. I want my games and applications to ā€œjust workā€, I don’t care how.

If Proton makes games available on Linux in a ā€œjust worksā€ format, that’s fantastic. Now I just need Adobe CC, Microsoft Office, etc to somehow also ā€œjust workā€. I know I could mess around with Wine… or I could just run Windows, and that’s where I’m currently at.

@gamingonlinux and I want to ditch Windows, I don’t like what Microsoft has done with Windows 10/11, but when I look at Linux, it still seems like the worse option for desktop. When I was younger I loved tinkering with the OS (Windows and Linux). Now that I’m older I just want an OS that works so I can get my work done.
@bearmine @gamingonlinux why worse? I'm using it for some time as my only OS and I'm very happy with it. Proton was the last thing I needed so that my games also work. What is missing for you?
