Things are definitely miles better! I myself have switched fully to Linux as far as games go. But it’s still not the “Install and Play” experience one would expect on Windows.

Just check ProtonDB’s aggregates. Of all the Steam games with reports in the DB (~10% of the entire Steam catalogue), 30~60% (tier 1/platinum) are likely zero effort setups, 30~40% likely require some work (tier 2/gold), and the remainder will most probably do or not run at all.

Things have improved, are improving, and hopefully they’ll keep doing so. But we need to practice some degree of expectation management, especially given influx of new converts these days…
