Coverage is still partial because some VERY popular games do not run on Linux due to anti-cheat

Anything you'd want to play runs on Linux.
One that people keep commenting on is Battlefield 6, which has an absolutely perfect user experience in Linux.
If you play it on Windows it's a slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess that barely works is just no fun at all.
On Linux, it's perfect. It doesn't work at all, so you don't waste any time trying to enjoy the slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess.

I'd say that coverage is very, very substantial, but incomplete because some games use anti-cheat that is either extremely invasive and heavily relies on Windows internals, or is anti-cheat that the devs have configured to reject running in Proton.

Yes, it's very good. However, basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category.

BTW as someone increasingly fed up with W11 and thus feeling homeless: how well does VR work?

Weird. I've been playing many multiplayer shooters from Proton with my Windows-using friends. I suppose this is one of those "am I friends with people who pretty much only play CoD or Fortnite?" things.
