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.

Wayland, works better with games. Unless it's star citizen, then x11 because it somehow breaks the elevators
Gaming isn't a valid reason. You wan't games, use windows or a console. Don't waste a perfectly good linux system.
Don’t tell people how to use their computers u lame
I can and do when people are wrong. :). Suck it.
Linux gaming has come to the point where many publishers and developers literally add Wine support intentionally and the game consol with the biggest game library of all time (Steam Deck) uses it but we still have people like you... If you want to use Windows you are free to do so but Linux is a great option by now too!
Wine is a shim, a workaround, not true native Linux support. Don't care if 'they support it'. Support native Linux, instead. Don't give a damn if it makes their job less easy, you either really support Linux or you don't. Black and white. No middle ground. Wine is being apologetic for Linux being Linux, which is unacceptable.
I don't even know what to say, that's prime stupidity on another level!
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...
And that makes you part of the problem.
