(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

Same, since 2013.

I've found that often the game is listed as not linux, but runs fine with proton anyway. So I often buy, and refund if needed.

That's what I do too.

Huh, same here, give or take a year (I was 100% Linux before Steam came, which was sometime around 2013).

I have never refunded a game though, ProtonDB is usually accurate so I just check there before buying.
