From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are plenty of games that are very specifically targeting Proton compatibility at a very minimum thanks to the Steam Deck, so I'm perfectly happy with any game that's developed with that in mind.

Being verified on Steam Desk is my parameter for deciding if I'll consider a game or not, even if I don't have a Steam Deck (yet). I'm perfectly fine with that, not asking for a Linux native version as long as the game works as it should on Proton.

Verified is probably a stricter metric than you need/want. Many games aren't verified just because of font-size issues and the like on the small screen.
