Interesting, do you think game devs in future will just target windows/proton and not bother with native Linux ports?

Yes, most likely. Steam is dominant, and it's not hard to make a Windows release that works under Proton.

Though in my case, I currently offer demo/beta releases for both Windows and Linux directly from Github. If I ultimately elect to release my game under a GPL license, then supporting both Linux and Windows directly would make sense.

Ironically, win32 is the only stable API and ABI on gnu/linux
