Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark
I've only ever needed to enable Proton for non-Steam games. Are there Steam games that don't have Proton enabled and need it to be manually enabled by the user? (I've only used it on the Steam Deck)

Sometimes also a game will have a native linux binary but the Windows version with Proton works better (or at all) anyway...

I start non-Steam games with Wine and they run just as good.

Proton is based on Wine so that's not surprising. If you're already using Steam you might as well use Proton, though.

It already was the default for SteamOS, but not for overall Linux until recently, I believe.
