Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it. But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn't support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.
...is worth mentioning that gaming on LInux doesn't work very well because middle ware (anticheat and stuff) do expect weird things designed by Microsoft. See this in the case of ACPI:
No it's not worth mentioning. At all.
I don't care. Gamers don't care. Nobody but people defending the honor of Linux care. They just want it to work.
Pro tip: I couldn't give a fuck that Nvidia doesn't work either.
You give off that vibe of "I got mine so fuck everyone else"
