    The title is a bit click-baity.

    Steam had a setting where it would only run Proton on games on which it had been verified to work. Some people would inadvertently flip this setting off. Now the setting is gone, so they can’t accidentally do this.

      Do you mean the setting called “Enable Steam Play for all titles” that was usually unchecked, that you’d have to go in and check, which some folks wouldn’t do (because they might not have known they were supposed to?)

        Yeah i had heard Linux gaming was good but when installed steam i found only like 10% of my games were showing as playable for Linux. Next day i realized i needed to turn on the proton option or whatever

      That setting defaults to off. Changing the default to on means new users won’t have to figure out it exists, and shows confidence in proton
