Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

it's been a game changer for gaming in general. the fact that enough gamers are switching to Linux to boost its market share higher than it's ever been before is going to change gaming in ways we're only beginning to see. I mean, Valve is planning a console launch, and who knows what other consoles we'll see in the coming years. maybe some crowdfunded ones that actually take off. and all this attention from gamers is going to mean some of them start switching to Linux for their everyday tasks, which could end up having an affect on computing in general.

but the best part about it is that it might very well break up the monopoly microsoft has on computing, which is good for the users because it will mean we'll have more options, and that's never a bad thing.
