    It’s cool if it’s shown in the compatibility list, so we can see easily if a game is proton compatible.

      I think their original intent back when Proton originally launched was to just show generic Linux compatibility on any titles if it worked with Proton and was approved by Valve. I’m not sure why they stopped doing that.

    Let’s be honest year of Linux desktop won’t happen until more company’s sell computer with Linux already installed most people don’t install their own OS this is why Windows is so popular until that is fixed by preloading Linux on more systems I don’t think it’ll happen.

      It’s not just that. Prebuilt computers with Linux are probably the worst way to go, because the people buying prebuilt aren’t the ones who can troubleshoot their own systems, and like it or not, Linux requires significantly more and more involved troubleshooting. Windows/MacOS have abstracted that so far away from the user that most don’t even bother and just restart, because 99% of the time that fixes the problem.

      I truly don’t think Linux can ever go beyond enthusiast desktops and web browsing machines. It’s such a steep learning curve where almost everything you’ve ever learned about computers needs to be thrown out and re-learned.

        Most people can’t actually use Windows. What they can use (barely) is a couple applications and utilities. Put them in Linux and they still won’t be able to use the system, they’ll still get by with a few applications and utilities which will use the exact same paradigms. So no big difference.

        Also they won’t dump data in random places on the disk but only in the user’s home. Which is an improvement.

        And for the few that want to understand something, unlike Windows a lot of the help is built-in. The error messages make sense. There’s a logic to things. All in all, Linux is easier.

    Just a thought:
    Isn’t that logo a bit weird? One proton but it looks like two electrons, and what’s the extra layer around the proton?
    That is neither a Proton ion or a valid atom.
    I guess graphically it looks OK, but it doesn’t make much sense IMO.

    Edit: It could with some leniency look like a Hydrogen anion (H-).

      Stop it, no one cares…making it look like something recognizable to the masses is the idea. No one cares about it looking like a real proton or electron.
