I made the mistake of following a "Flight of the Bumblebee" who can play the fastest YouTube playlist once. While impressive, it's like people who speed run Mario 3 -- I feel like they should have moved on to another hobby 12 years ago.

But, yep, there's always that edge case. Battlefields don't run. Generally, multiplayer games (with their byzantine anti-cheat software) are hard to run on Linux, natively or otherwise. And even dealing Proton/Wine/etc. is something the average user doesn't want to deal with. Even the non-average user's in a shitty spot here -- I want to run games I already like in Wine or Proton. If there's a NEW game I want to try? Why would I potentially waste money on it if I don't have a guarantee that it works in Wine or Proton? I guess I'll wait A FEW YEARS.
But Linux is already perfect, what more do we want??? https://youtu.be/5IInvAwZo6U?t=1333 DD

No one will target 300Hz monitors, but it is cool to have it so you can say gaming consoles and Stadia do just 30 or 60 fps and here on PC there is difference, man here we could fly free not a rule but quite possibly so why not
At least fortunately for the fun of course, we could continue to use buzzword 'unfortunately' xyz
That aside, freesync 20-300Hz monitors would be nice to have. We'd never have to pick between tearing or framerate limiting again.

I think the rise in AMD Market share is more impressive. Over 2% on Linux and around 1% on Windows.

It would be nice if we could finally break the 1% threshold, which I don't think is impossible by any stretch of the imagination when the Windows 7 EoL date is a few months away and it still has a 30% OS market share. The fact that Windows 10 only just reached 50% despite the occasionally heavy handed and scummy tactics Microsoft has used should indicate that there's going to be a good amount of opportunities to "convert" people to Linux come January 14th.
Proton isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I was genuinely impressed by how well it ran a good chunk of my games right at launch and how it's only getting better as time goes on. Hell, as buggy as Bethesda's titles are on their native platforms I was impressed by how the only real issue I had when I tried playing Fallout 4 with mods was an occasional mouse issue caused by how they've implemented mouse input in a really idiosyncratic way for that game. Then again I did play Fallout: New Vegas in Wine back in 2015 and the only issue it had was an audio issue with background music occasionally bugging out (thou that could have been the game itself due to how rushed it's development was).
