   The fact that gaming on Linux went from "ha ha, very funny" to most games just work and only a few FPS games are not working at all (and most of them doing so on purpose by blocking Proton in anti-cheat rootkits rather than because of just not offically supporting Linux) is a real testement to both Linux rising as a legitimate computing plaform and Valve's work on making Linux a true gaming platform.

   Also, thanks to Jason @killyourfm for this nice article BTW! https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2024/08/21/linux-scores-a-surprising-gaming-victory-against-windows-11/

     @thejackimonster @cameronbosch WHOA! At a glance, this is really valuable (and for me, actionable) data! I'm already picturing an article or two that could utilize this data to paint some very promising pictures of Linux gaming. Mainstream audiences need to see this.

     Thank you for your work!

     @cameronbosch @killyourfm What I did a few years ago is writing a script to plot progress in gaming via Proton from the official ProtonDB data that was put upstream openly on Github.

     You can see from about 45% being playable in a decent way in 2019, we have come to around 73% of Windows games being playable now (in about 6 years).

     I'm looking forward to the next 6 years if that's the speed we're going.

     @TeamLinux01 @thejackimonster @cameronbosch That would be an interesting exploration, though probably a (fun) rabbit hole I don't personally have time for.

     @killyourfm @thejackimonster @cameronbosch Jason, I also wonder how many old games have stopped working on modern Windows that keep working with Proton.
