There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.
Yeah until you find a game which doesn't run only because of its dogshit Anti Cheat System Service.
Fuck anti-cheat, the bane of gamers everywhere.
I think they're a necessary evil, nothing ruins multiplayer more than cheats.
Then multiplayer should be its own app. Making a whole single-player game unplayable just so you can push anticheat cruft into everything.
Punkbuster, VAC and EAC support Linux now.
It's the truly invasive anti cheats like Vanguard, GameGuard, etc that won't run.
