> If gamers are just going to skip Linux entirely without Proton

Gaming on Linux was a thing before Proton and so far, it has not brought a giant jump in Linux users - e.g. Steam hwsurver still has Linux users hovering at about 1% [0]. Maybe that will change but so far this argument falls flat.

It doesn't look like it brought about a massive increase, but Linux gaming has increased[0] about 25% over the 3 years since Proton was released.

(25% of 0.8% is 0.2%! Ha!)
