Half serious question because I’ve been browsing this for a while, but, is this /c/ really about Linux gaming? Most if not every post is about Steam, Proton, Windows games, and Windows game companies. Feels more like /c/windowsgamingonlinux to me, which I’m not contra to but, I feel it deprives some naming space (good names are finite!) from something like… well, native Linux games.

Could help if there was a way to tag posts that are not really about games for Linux.

    For the majority of gamers on Linux this makes absolutely no difference.

    In fact running a Windows game through Proton is not far from a native Linux port. All that Proton does is provide an API similar to Windows. And then the game is just executed in this context. The game binary is still x86_64 code which then runs “natively” on the CPU.
