Native Linux support was often problematic because too many developers would use a third party to port the game and then fail to maintain it.
I absolutely love the Steam Deck and I’ll easily take the trade offs that Proton gives us. Maybe one day Linux will gain enough market share to justify more first party native support.

If you find a game that’s different, you know You’ve found a diamond among stones: a developer studio that cares.
The idea of a “Prison Architect” series of games is just conceptually wild to me. I wonder if in a hundred years this will have the same ring to it that a game like “Slave Plantation Architect” would have today. Just remarkably crass and tasteless.
It’s just a fun game. There are also games about war, does that mean they must not be fun?
Paradox doesn’t really bother.
Even the games that have native Linux ports regularly have massive issues. Currently you can’t play CK3 multiplayer since it immediately goes out of sync, works fine with proton though. The Linux version also crashes much more.
Similar story with Stellaris, where every other update the clients become completely incompatible.
PDX games have always worked for me with Proton. That should be fine.
Yeah, I agree, they’re mostly working fine, even with mods. Their client is crap though.
With proton there’s no need to Wine about it
