    Good idea. This is probably to stop new Linux users from panicking when they buy a new game and then Steam gives them the “this game is incompatible with your operating system” error when they launch without enabling Proton first. I know that message popped up for me a lot.

      I had finally convinced a friend to switch to Linux a few months ago. And they installed Steam and the first thing they said was “oh great none of my games work on Linux.”

      Lol. And I just thought man they should really just turn it on by default.

      So I’m glad they’re doing this now.

      It was a little silly to have to change a setting away from the default given that nearly everything works on proton.
