If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

How does Proton work? Is it another application like wine?
It’s literally a fork of wine.
But from a practical perspective, you tell steam to start the game and it starts it, installing and using proton as necessary. If the developers haven’t configured it you have to first click a button in preferences that says “use proton” (paraphrased), but that’s it.
Also Steam can be configured to use Proton by default for non-native games :3
