Is this about Linux gaming? (feddit.cl)

Half serious question because I've been browsing this for a while, but, is this /c/ really about Linux gaming? Most if not every post is about Steam, Proton, Windows games, and Windows game companies. Feels more like /c/windowsgamingonlinux to me, which I'm not contra to but, I feel it deprives some naming space (good names are finite!) from something like... well, native Linux games.

Could help if there was a way to tag posts that are not really about games for Linux.

Problem is there is a total lack of Linux native games out there. Even major OSS games these days are not exclusively Linux native, but cross platform.

Good OSS games also tend to be niche. Like, for me, Simutrans and openTTD. Tycoon genre like this are no longer as popular as it once was
