Yep and it seems to line up with the rise of the Steam Deck and all the discussion around how viable gaming on Linux is these days. I think there were/are a LOT of people that only stick with Windows due to gaming. Hopefully as gaming support continues to improve on Linux more of those people will make the switch.

I don't even think much when running games anymore. Even DRM-free games I get from Gog I can just click on and run with Wine most of the time. It's so awesome.

There's that and Heroic is doing some excellent work implementing proton and steams stuff into GOG games!

Yeah, but I prefer running it without a launcher. It's just cool to me I can easily run the games via clickng on the exe or searching it in a runner with very little hastle.
