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.

See, this is after where most gaming folks hop off.
In all fairness, if you just run Lutris (pre-installed on Bazzite), log into GOG from there and install and run the game through their wizard, it also “just works”.
That might be easier for most.
What you just said is so much more difficult than running games through proton isn't it??
For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.
Although, I'm not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance.
aptdoesn't list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally...You just go to steam settings > compat > enable for all games and then it just works for all games on steam
Probably true, it depends. There are Steam folks and then there are GOG folks.
I prefer GOG tbh because it's DRM free, but for some games I still need Steam, unfortunately.
