Native Linux support was often problematic because too many developers would use a third party to port the game and then fail to maintain it.

I absolutely love the Steam Deck and I’ll easily take the trade offs that Proton gives us. Maybe one day Linux will gain enough market share to justify more first party native support.

Win32 seems to be the most stable Linux library.

Underrated comment.

this has probably stopped many devs from making native games

It definitely has.

I don't really care. Most games with native Linux end up running better with Proton anyway.

If you find a game that's different, you know You've found a diamond among stones: a developer studio that cares.
