It honestly makes me wonder why i keep using windows on my main desktop if proton allows playing most anything i play
It wasn't always that way, but I'm glad proton is great now!

I only read of the rocky starts, i got mine with the recent steam sale at 10% off for the 64GB. Just need to get it a bigger SSD and I’ll be all set!
I just picked up the corsairs mp600 1tb and an nvme enclosure to clone my drive for about 130 all together.
I used Linux before Steam came to Linux, those were the good old days where every game required tinkering in WINE. I actually didn't have a Steam account until it came to Linux, and then I played only a handful of Linux-native games (Rocket League was one of them).
When Proton came to Steam, a whole new world opened up, and now I can basically assume a game will work and I'll be right more often than not.
So from my perspective, it wasn't a rocky start at all, but a gradual widening of my gaming library. I've since played a ton more games, so I've rewarded Steam for the effort.
I actually just installed Linux on my gaming PC and it's mostly been a good experience.
