I believe to see a very slight acceleration after the release of the OLED version on the graph. And
I believe to foresee a higher acceleration after the release of the Steam Deck 2. :woot:

@mi1stormilst: I have a very similar (opinionated) belief. Although it clashes on a regular basis with the reality that seemingly everyone has this one special-need software that only runs on Windows. Sometimes I really do wonder where people go dig up this obscure stuff...

@Purple Library Guy: Impressive! Although I am also interested in a comparison Sep 2018 - Mar 2022, Mar 2022 - release of OLED model, release of OLED model - now. Could you do this, please?
I know I come off as a lazy bum who is trying to load off the thinking stuff on other people, but I sincerely lack the brain juice at the moment.thanksbye

The search engine will need a name more catchy than 'open web search' zzZ

This is the average experience for most people, and it's somehow fine by them.
I'm repeatedly flabbergasted by the amount of abuse people around me will put up with.

The goal of Proton is not to shift more developers to native Linux ports. It is to move more consumers (i.e. gamers) from Windows to Linux. A side-effect absolutely is that 'Linux support' means 'it runs on Proton'.
The question is: what if Proton ever succeeds in bringing a critical mass of gamers to Linux? Then suddenly it will make sense for developers to support Linux natively. One can dream...
