If the game is not on Steam or doesn't have a native Linux port (which is actually worse more often than not) then manually setting up to run through wine/proton is pain the ass.

    There are a lot of people play such such games at least occasionally. And on Windows they just work. The moment gamer try to do this on Linux and realize that it doesn't, they will go back to Windows.

    The paradise of easy gaming on Linux ends the moment you try to leave Valve's walled garden.
