In that case I don't think I understand your point. It sounds as if you couldn't play the same games as other people until the Steam Deck arrived? But in fact Steam has worked great on Linux for much longer than that.
Before Proton, there were no games on Linux that you might overhear people talking about at a bus stop. Maybe two or three. But since Steam Deck, I can play the same games as everyone else on my Linux machine, which is a strange and novel experience for me. That's all. Didn't mean it to be a brain teaser.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be a smartass it just seemed like either I was misunderstanding you or you were misunderstanding something. Proton has been around ever since the Steam Machine was released eight years ago.
Guy, I know. We know. Everyone knows. You're killing me. What were you playing on Linux eight years ago? It wasn't GTA!
Probably Dreamfall Chapters.
