From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Close. It either natively runs well on Linux, or refund. No Proton, no Wine. Made natively for Linux and runs well, supporting X11 and that Wayland crap. Otherwise "gamers" will once again blame Linux... again. And there is nothing worse than whiny gamers blaming Linux.
Personally, if Wine/Proton is officially supported I am fine to pay. If they don't support native Linux or official Wine/Proton support then I pass. I really don't care what tools/libraries they use as long as the result is supported and the game runs well.
The problem there is Linux will get blamed when there is a problem. Best just not to have games at all, then.
