When they initially stated they wanted to bring games on Linux, I was ... skeptical, to say the least. It seemed like posturing to fend off Microsoft's predatory policies, but ultimately an empty promise that would never work out, despite every good intention they had.
I mean Linux? Running Windows games? Without hacks and tricks and magic and stuff to make it run maybe good enough to say "yeah, it kinda runs sometimes if you don't pay attention to the bugs"? Absolute lunacy.
But they did it.
The absolute madmen did it in just a couple years. That's incredible.
Congratulations to Gabe, Steam devs and proton devs.
