This seems dated. I'm not saying there is no issues but man has it improved so much.

    Improved =/= working 100% of the time

    Correct. There are still games that don't work because there is actual work being done to make them not work.

    I wonder where the problem is... must be Linux' fault.

    DRM in many games doesn't work on Linux. In some cases, like games that use EAC, this is technically just a checkbox at build time where they decide not to support Linux.

    There are also some weird libraries and low-level interfaces that refuse to even work through wine/proton, but that's pretty rare nowadays. You have to be actively trying to find something that won't work at all on Linux.

    For sure, but just as an example I tried starting Black Mesa on steam yesterday, which has a native release, but had to tinker quite a bit to get it working. Unfortunately I think it's often the case that the native releases gets forgotten and lags behind the windows/proton releases
