No, they are right.
It took an enormous amount of fiddling for me to get games working on Debian 12
I've been using Steam in FlatPak on NixOS for a couple years now.
The only games I've found that didn't work were due to anti-cheat rootkit stuff, which would probably be a bigger deal if I cared about online gaming. And I've had to change the Proton version a couple times, because the beta (default) seems to break a game occasionally. Overall: it's astoundingly good compared to where it was 5+ years ago.
I agree with you, but it’s just not ready for the average person.
Case in point: regardless of which version of Steam I install it goes into a crash-restart cycle if I open it from gnome. The only way to run it is to type “steam” in the console.
The issue persists regardless of whether I use the .deb or flatpak.
