i don't think anyone in this thread is saying we shouldn't have proton, but just that it is holding back actual linux development. I for one love my steamdeck and use proton all the time.

but facts are facts, and there are less games being developed for linux because of proton.

Really?

On the one hand, it’s a shame in general, as Proton has truly been a pesky thorn on the foot for Linux gaming

Cause that implies wanting to get rid of it. You don't tend to fondly keep as a momento the thorn in your foot.. you rip it out and get rid of it.
