There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

..yeah, Windows prefers delivering 1st party backdoors and viruses.
Jokes aside, what are you referring to with that, where are you pulling your packages from not be vetted?

Thanks, that's actually valid!
I think one of the commenters there said it best:

It's almost like the maintainers who curate a distribution repository have an important role preventing such a thing...

Repositories where anyone can release packages to the end-users may be convenient for developers who want more control over what the user gets, but it has a host of negative consequences for the user. It always ends in malware and anti-features getting distributed eventually.

And it looks like it's being handled decently by Canonical. I don't like Snap, but I gotta say they're doing a good job overall
