> The majority of the games do not support multiplayer on Linux, due to dependency on Windows-specific anticheat software.

Definitely not majority. Maybe majority of the top 10-20 most popular/most cheated games? The very long tail of games works with multiplayer splendidly

There have been reports that Valve is collaborating with EAC to improve Proton support: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/apparently-valve-are-...

> Many, many of the games themselves aren't totally stable on Linux.

https://www.protondb.com/ is a great database to check on the stability of games. Many, many games are very stable. Games that I happen to play regularly are more stable than Windows (especially with alt-tab and such).

I wouldn't oversell protondb since it's based on user submitted reports. I've tried multiple games that were rated platinum, but wouldn't launch or had other graphical issues that made them unplayable. Luckily the issues usually present themselves before you reach the 2 hour refund time limit.
