When the #SteamDeck and #Proton became a thing, many people (including me tbh) complained this would lead to fewer native #Linux builds – yet recently I see a trend with developers releasing Linux versions of their game just to quench out that little bit of extra performance.
It looks like Proton was needed to reach a certain threshold of platform users and now people are starting to look into native ports again. I think it is entirely possible that Proton will become a niche thing only used to emulate a few exotic legacy games.
