Is this about Linux gaming? (feddit.cl)

Half serious question because I've been browsing this for a while, but, is this /c/ really about Linux gaming? Most if not every post is about Steam, Proton, Windows games, and Windows game companies. Feels more like /c/windowsgamingonlinux to me, which I'm not contra to but, I feel it deprives some naming space (good names are finite!) from something like... well, native Linux games.

Could help if there was a way to tag posts that are not really about games for Linux.

As stated on the sidebar,

Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck).

Is Proton/Wine a tool on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems? Yes.

    If this was only about 'Linux' gaming there wouldn't be much to talk about

    You're not even asking for native Linux games, but Linux exclusive games. Which, I'm sorry, is stupid. I also think this really is a slap in the face for all the people that work on Proton, Wine and all the drivers and libraries to make all of this possible.

    Is playing games made for Windows on Linux not playing games on Linux?
