can confirm, and is why i'm still loyal to steam. i mostly prefer games that have actual native implementations, tomb raider reboot, the long dark, kingdom games, dying light 1, metro redux games and exodus, half life games, portal, all of these have native builds.
you only have to look at the subtle details of the half life and portal games to see that there is a culture of hate towards microsoft and apple in Valve, the constant in-jokes about them like the endless blue screens on computers in half life, and the corporate bureaucracy and lunacy of the scientists, and the sickly sweet, polished style of the portal testing lab and the psychotic behaviour of the AI. these are all references to microsoft and apple.
i also can play all of the Stalker games with proton perfectly, they run smoother than they ever did before. i also have tried a few odd other AAA titles such as CoD:MW2 which also run perfectly under proton. steam's deck is also linux native and i have a steam controller which works perfectly on linux (can even use it as a mouse and keyboard)
