I'm not using it since I'm not gaming, but I absolutely love how much they're doing for Linux. With Proton they broke windows' pseudo-monopoly on gaming and are now working on making Linux gaming mainstream with the steam deck.

Also don't forget that their main product is a proprietary third party software launcher
