At some point recently, Valve updated the Steam Beta Client with a change to the way Proton is enabled making Linux gaming easier.

TLDR: the checkbox for “enable proton for all other titles” is forced on, and hidden.

If you already have this enabled, there’s nothing to gain from the beta client.

True. And I do see the point some make in saying they want to show demand for Linux native apps and don’t want to show demand for Windows apps (via comparability layer or VM). I think there is an option to filter Linux native games in the Steam app if I’m not mistaken.
