MODERATORS
TLDR: the checkbox for "enable proton for all other titles" is forced on, and hidden.
If you already have this enabled, there's nothing to gain from the beta client.
Hiding it is weiird
Thanks for tldr
Why would you want to turn it off?
Not me personally, but I know some linux enthusiasts are very much on only gaming linux native 🤔
Doesn't affect Linux native titles
True. And I do see the point some make in saying they want to show demand for Linux native apps and don't want to show demand for Windows apps (via comparability layer or VM). I think there is an option to filter Linux native games in the Steam app if I'm not mistaken.
Yup, little penguin will show linux native, unless the compatibility is on then everything is listed
