¨gaming optimized distros" are the dumbest thing ever, hobby projects that do not contribute anything upstream and do not teach their users anything.
But they are always fast and efficient when they have to setup their patreon...

I honestly can't comprehend why people keep bothering with 'Native Linux'

Yes, people should definitely stop developing software for Linux!

We get tens of thousands of games that run and run very well, and developers can spend more time actually building their games instead of focusing on fixing up issues for our (let's face it) tiny user share. Proton is a good great thing for gamers.

Yes, YES!!! Keeping our (gaming) future tied so closely to Microsoft it's good great!

In the long run a single build is easier for developers to test and support, and Proton can keep games running on Linux practically forever after developers move on or shut down. A layer to continue supporting games like Proton just makes more and more sense as time goes on.

Yes! Also developers don't need to invest time to learn developing for, or even run their builds on, Linux: they just need to keep using Microsoft solutions everywhere!
This is truly awesome!

Good, another project that dropped Linux support! I hope soon no one will lose time writing software for Linux anymore!

No biggie, Linux Steam users love to be second class citizens anyway.

So they implemented epic, gog and amazon support without using any code from GPL projects like legendary, heroic-gogdl or nile, in less than a year, with a team of two where only one is a coder. Impressive!

The Steam Linux (desktop, non-deck) client itself is lacking in accessibility features to be honest: why on earth I'm not allowed to make text bigger on what is basically a web page? And no, DPI scaling at DE/WM level is not a solution...

Are the devs being ironic? Enormous amount of work?
But, but... Proton just works, it's easy, eco-sustainable and sexy!1!
