That's the last of the big walls, but unfortunately there is still work to be done.
The main problem I see is that most of the support is through proton, and often almost all the work is done by valve. Without native games (well ported) the performance is inferior.

Oh, and nvidia, damn nvidia.

I doubt we will see more native games any time soon, making games work better with proton by the devs themselves is imho more important for the platform
