Oh yeah, They Are Billions maybe ?

Of course not.

Next year, if you are using either Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS, you will be prompted to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. For normal release users, this upgrade should happen with the release of 17.10.

As a result of this decision there will no longer be a separate GNOME flavor of Ubuntu. The development teams from both Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Desktop will be merging resources and focusing on a single combined release, that provides the best of both GNOME and Ubuntu.
You should upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04
Oh well. It's actually Ubuntu 18.04 (vanilla), but with the gnome session. My bad.

Quoting: minidouCommunity based survey integrated into steam could be enough of an improvement. Would help a lot the devs so they know what can be tested for whitelisting, too.

Imagine, you try a game with proton, once you close it you get a popup to rate your experience 1-5.
Then you can compile stats on steam website "this game has 83% review with proton". Or even better, in the client "this game has 27% rate with proton for users with a similar system".
Great idea! But... Are you really using Ubuntu GNOME right now?
I shouldn't ?

Anti cheat softwares.

No wonder Wine and DXVK are doing great recently.

They will enable many more titles as progress on it all continues.
It is possible to try other games too :

enthusiast users are also able to try playing non-whitelisted games using an override switch in the Steam client
There's also a much welcomed GRAPHICS DRIVERS QUICKSTART [External Link] to help setup vulkan and DXVK on other distros.

This year, we’ve already put up well over 800 articles for all sorts of wonderful Linux games!
Honestly, I would settle for less content. Custom rss for patrons allowing to filter news about promises of linux support (that, surprise, turns out to be dropped), and differentiating news about game update, game launch, WIP/EA game update would be great.

Microsoft is rumoured to be looking to buy Valve, EA and others

Microsoft is hoarding 130 billion dollars overseas for reference.

But I don't see how Gabe Newell (and other co-owners of Valve) would sell it. He already has more money than he can possibly spend.
