I simply don't care. Games run fine under proton, why should I?
It's not even extra work you have to do, steam handles pretty much all of it.
You don't have to care, but don't expect others not to just because you're OK with a substandard experience. If you're OK eating shit that's fine, but don't trytell me it's chocolate when I'm holding real chocolate.
Proton simply does not deliver a meaningfully substandard experience. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's worse. I'd bet the majority of steam deck users don't even know what it is.
Most games take a slight performance hit, so small you won't notice unless you're watching the numbers. Some games even have better performance on proton than native windows.
Why do you think it's substandard?
2018 called, they want their games back.
Yeah, they're benchmarks from a while ago.
This was already the case in 2018, it certainly hasn't gotten worse.
