Fuck yes! Maybe more games will enable Linux support.
That would be awesome, but sadly the biggest shift wont happen until the major anti cheats start supporting proton.
It's even worse.
They are adding Linux support - but only if it detects you are running ~~the exact model of OLED screen as Steam Deck has~~ on SteamDeck, and blocks every other Linux device.
EDIT: There is some kind of hardware validation that can't be easily spoofed, I vaguely remember reading it was based on the screen HW, but that's beside the point.
Infinity Nikki does this :(
That's exactly how I found out about this, I was really looking forward to that game.
I think I also saw it somewhere else, but don't remember what it was.
