Proton is useful for improving support for games so that more people may consider Linux, once Linux’s market share grows then more official support will come. But Linux has bigger issues than games to solve before masses could adopt it outside of specific implementations e.g. SteamOS/ChromeOS.
Microsoft will never let go the gaming market. And certainly not by nicely allowing devs to mimic their API. If linux is every taking off as a gaming platform then Microsoft will simply release their own anti-cheat just like they released their own antivirus. With tpm2 etc…etc… and gamers will clap.
If your comparison is TPM and Defender then I’m sorry to tell you but absolutely nobody is clapping at this. People despise pretty much every Microsoft decision and will actively try to work around them
Microsoft don’t really get to dictate it beyond their own games. Vulkan already exists, it’s on developers to use it and through use it will be improved. Nvidia is a problem, right now you really want an AMD card for Linux and Nvidia are not rushing to support it. Linux is forever maturing, which is why it will struggle to ever see wide-spread use, unless major players suddenly start support for it, but why would they, when the market share isn’t worth it… and on and on it goes.
