I don't do just Steam. As said before, I sometimes use mods or play niche games, such as ones that require Japanese locale, Windows v3.1, GOG games, and so forth. While I am not a true power user, my needs definitely go beyond Steam alone. I had tried out Mint a year ago, Hero, Lutris, Mini Galaxy, and so forth failed to work smoothly with my games.

Nowadays it's super simple, with Lutris or another launcher. But you can still make Steam launch those too, with Proton.

What games require JP locale? Do you mean hentai games ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?

Asian games, both perverse and standard. Translation patches don't necessarily make the internal workings of a game able to run on English locale. As to specific games, I don't recall at the moment - I play too many.
