Steam Machines were not popular but they paved the way (they never stopped working on Proton) for Steam Deck which is very very popular.

Now making a game work on proton doesn't mean it works on Linux, means it works on a new popular portable console.

This thing runs God of War [1] at the same performance than a regular PS4 but on Linux over Proton in a handheld, it's incredible.

FWIW I've been using Steam+Proton on Arch for a month now, and it's like fucking magic. Other than the peculiarity of having two AMD graphics drivers to pick from, I'd say it's 90% there. No crashes, glitches, etc after picking the better of the two drivers for a particular game.

Yeah, the Switch never happened.
