Quoting: subI still don't see how they'll manage to get the whole Steam Windows catalog (or even close) working fine with Proton until Dec.

As good and impressive that tech is and has come -v ery often I'm facing issues when trying a Windows through SteamPlay. No matter if I choose experimental or stable. Will they whitelist games that are known to work? But that's not what they promise ...

Btw, I don't run an exotic configuration. It's a Ryzen+5700XT and alway up-to-date Arch installation.

I think either the PR Team of Valve was either a bit over confident or they are working on something promising in the background, maybe we will see BattleEye/Easy Anti-Cheat working on Linux for non proton games this year.

Or they more or less expect the Windows flock to install Win 10/11 right away.

I dont think so.

Maybe this could also mark more games as whitelisted on proton?

Quoting: PublicNuisanceTo all those who refuse to buy Linux games from GOG due to them not releasing Linux versions of their client or newer games: do you buy Windows games on Steam ? Just a curiousity........

Well, yes.
Is it comfortable to play Windows games through Steam? Most of the time yes it is, if they aren't playable on Linux I dont buy them.
Is it comfortable to play Linux games through GOG? Not really, although I need to admit "back in the day" when I wanted to migrate from Steam to GOG and some time latter from Win to Linux(which made me stop the migration to GOG) I didn't know things like Minigalaxy exist. On the other hand as I tried the last time playing Gothic through Minigalaxy I eventually gave up and brought it on Steam.
