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.
