it did though

the only games that don't run on steam/linux are the ones which require easy anti-cheat for multiplayer

no, he is saying those are the games that he has tried and verified work personally. but you're incapable of second order thinking so you take some random reddit post as proof that proton can only run a limited subset of games on his setup

the only games I have found that don't run under proton are those which require EAC, and even then often the actual game will run but lack of EAC support in linux blocks you from multiplayer. even if a game is only marked "playable" for the steam deck it usually runs perfectly fine on the linux desktop, that just means it sucks to play on a tiny handheld screen.

Oh so this Steam console is going to run a WINDOWS | EMULATOR on a clapped out AMD platform while the new Xbox runs actual Windows with no emulation?

yes, the steam deck has already done this with pretty solid results. they would not be releasing this if they weren't satisfied with how the steam deck sold and was received. on top of that the steam machine won't have to deal with the constraints of most games not being suited to a handheld screen

and wine isn't an emulator (guess where the name "wine" came from), it's basically a re-implementation of windows system calls. how performance compares to windows varies by game, but in my experience it's generally identical to native. a few games are noticably slower, a few are noticably faster, most are the same

lol, so instead of game developers porting games to Linux, Valve developed a Windows emulator to let users play Windows games. That definitely means I was wrong.

Redditors and console players HATE Windows because they are too dumb to understand how things work. Valve was actually wickedly clever in selling a Windows emulator to these guys and calling it “Linux gaming”

I would buy the Magnus Xbox over this but it’s fine as an indie machine that also has a decent CPU
