    Good idea. This is probably to stop new Linux users from panicking when they buy a new game and then Steam gives them the "this game is incompatible with your operating system" error when they launch without enabling Proton first. I know that message popped up for me a lot.

      It was a little silly to have to change a setting away from the default given that nearly everything works on proton.

        I had finally convinced a friend to switch to Linux a few months ago. And they installed Steam and the first thing they said was "oh great none of my games work on Linux."

        Lol. And I just thought man they should really just turn it on by default.

        So I'm glad they're doing this now.

          Its not even new linux users.

          I semi-recently built a new PC and even having done this repeatedly... it took me longer than it should to have realized why re-adding my library folders didn't add those games to my installed games list.
