How is that much of your library not functional? I have a library of 4200 games (some from family library) and over 90% are just fine thanks to proton.

I assume they're like a lot of people that only play competitive multiplayer games that don't have support for Linux for whatever reason. Or they're using a Nvidia GPU.

Nah, the vast majority of my interest is in single player story-based games. But hey, the moment SteamOS for desktop is here, I'm jumping on that

No need to wait for SteamOS. It still needs the compatibility layer, as it is Linux. There is bothing too special about it as far as I know.

I'm a layman in terms of Linux but really... except some multiplayer titles, there really isn't much to be concerned about using Linux. At least not from my experience.
