Steam Beta enables Proton on Linux making Linux gaming simpler

All games which are not explicitly marked with linux support will now by default launch with proton. You no longer need to manually set the compatability for each title, or go into settings to enable proton globally for all non-supported titles.

Pretty nice QOL feature. It's pretty annoying to have to fumble through a few extra steps to enable the damn download button

My take is that this made sense back when Proton was still in its infancy and Valve was working to get the Steam Deck Verified program off the ground. Now we are at a point where Proton compatibility is so high that the expectation is nearly any title will "just work" without any fuss and any game that doesn't is an outlier.

Those games you can force to just run natively via the "Linux Runtime" option. I wish they'd make that UI slightly better.
