Valve released Proton 10.0-3, the latest main stable version of the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux / SteamOS machines like Steam Deck. And now the Steam Machine and Steam Frame too of course whenever they arrive sometime in 2026.
The secret sauce that makes Linux gaming so amazing now, enabling tens of thousands of games to run well, just not those with certain types of anti-cheat which is a continuing problem. It’s been a long road to get here, with Proton 10 being in some form of Beta since April. But it’s here now!
The more I thought about that statement, the more goofy it seems to me. Linux players make up .01% of your player base, Windows is basically the rest, but all the cheaters are in that .01% and they’re enough to ruin the game? Like come on bro. The math ain’t mathing there.
