    Steam has a native linux client and they’ve also spent years, developing a proprietary wine-wrapper, called Proton. I’ve been able to run all my Steam games on Linux with no problems. :)

      Proton is not proprietary and not a wrapper, but more of an extension for wine. Makes it even better imho :p

      Proton is incredible. Linux has come so far in the last couple years for gaming. I’m running Intel/Nvidia (which used to be a big no-no), playing 99% of what I want to play with no issues. If I ever see issues it’s usually a game that uses anti-cheat. Even the vast majority of my games work fine now. Controller support is simple too.

      I’m guessing another year an I won’t have Windows in my setup at all.
