As a teenager, I used to be much more of a gamer. But with time, I've become more of a casual gamer. Mainly because of a lack of time to play video games, and the reluctance to invest much money on games I don't have much time to play.
Then, about a decade ago, I moved to Linux as my main OS. This meant that the number of games I'd be interested would be next to none. I didn't mind that much since I wasn't playing that much, and I had access to consoles at the time.
A couple of years ago Steam became available on Linux Mint, and I heard that the number games for Linux were increasing. So, I decided to give it a try, and I haven´t been disappointed.
The main game I've been playing is Himno-The Silent Melody. A nice game, that helps me relax, and it plays pretty well on Linux Mint.
And for what I've been seeing, with Proton more games are becoming playable on Linux. Not every game, but it has made Linux a true option for gamers that want to live Windows. Or those gamers, like me, that don't want to have a Windows machine to play games on Steam.
While parity with Windows will take time, and might never come, than Steam makes more video games playable on Linus using Proton is a net positive for gamers and Linux. And to be honest, parity might not be needed if enough AAA games become viable to be played on Linux. That would be enough to make more indie game developers to make their games on Linux too, making the gamers see Linux as an option.
Personally, it is something I hope it comes to be.
