Never? Proton has already replaced Windows for some and I don‘t think it’s going to become any weaker. Valve keeps pushing and making pretty good progress: Even games with anti cheat software are expected to work some time soon.

The Steam console was too early, but the Steam Deck might give Linux gaming a good push (even though I expect many users will install Windows, ha) and shows how committed Valve is to gaming on Linux.

I'm extremely excited about this, but there is a very sad reality check: anti-cheat vendors have pointed out that a hackable kernel breaks their model. They will most likely aim to detect and block WINE execution.
