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.

No it's not. You are saying you are fine running a program not made for Linux on Linux. That in no way promotes the growth of Linux. It promotes a kludge, a culture of 'good enough' for a pile of dog crap that is going to break sooner or later. No wonder Linux can't gain ground on the desktop. It's frustrating as hell to watch for year after year after year.
Can you run games on proton / wine? Yes Should you? NO! Demand better!
You have to get back to reality, no clue how far off ou are by now but it looks bad...
Nobody cares.
The majority of devices run Linux already. All of my games run on my Linux system through Steam. I don't give a fuck what the back end looks like, and game developers aren't going to release separate versions for multiple OS's.
And that makes you part of the problem.
