Yeah... It may be way better now but I distinctly remember about 10 years ago my buddy and I had taken a keen interest in building Linux rigs to try gaming on it, and having to struggle with Wine and all the other drivers and tweaks required. And then my friend asking for help on Linux forums and basically getting scoffed at by elitist neckbeards for being noobs and not doing our Linux Bible time or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, Proton is *incredible* and has advanced Linux gaming by leaps and bounds, but the neckbeards are still out in full force trying to get everyone to adopt it without being truthful about the reality of it.  You *still* need to use launch options in Steam to get a lot of games running at all, and some just don't plain work.  If every game just worked, we wouldn't need websites like ProtonDB.
