I suspect I’ve undiagnosed manic-depressive disorder, but either way I get heavy existential dread for 1-4 weeks straight, then reoccurring again in 1-3 months. I also get similar pressure from my industry. So I do feel you :(

I’ve got to say, Steam’s native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.
I want to say ARP. Can I say ARP?

I-Is this serious? This is literally what The Pirate Bay is now.
This seems like the right take. It’s based on expectations.
Though slightly cliche, this just feels right. That niece has learned a great lesson about how collaborating to improve things is always possible, and that open-source relies on everyone doing their bit.
They used the “Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking”, a pseudo-scientific test that measures and evaluates absolutely nothing of any objective measure or value.
That’s my point. You need those Steam keys to get the full experience. If you pirate it, you don’t get it. Therefore for some games, resellers > piracy.
If indie devs really have that preference, then they need to remove the DRM/Vendor-locking stuff in their games, unfortunately. If your game relies on eg. Steam for the multiplayer or workshop mods, then people are going to prefer resellers.
It’s a collaborative effort. The Wine and Vulkan projects have all done a lot and deserved credit for doing massive, amazing things. But for Linux gaming specifically, Proton has absolutely changed the landscape, and if Valve continues down this path, will make Linux an ever better gaming platform. So I don’t think it’s unfair to say thanks to Valve.
Not only have they sunk significant resource into making Linux gaming more viable, they’ve released Proton under BSD and seriously pushed developers to make Linux-compatible binaries. If Linux continues it’s slow upward trend in popularity, Valve will be in large part to thank.
