The most important thing about this, to me, is that I suspect the EMULATION community in particular is broadly shifting towards Linux, and for that matter Linux users were always pretty likely to be interested in emulation. Developers in this space have always been pretty Linux-friendly. Launchbox remaining on Windows could start to limit sales fairly significantly over the next few years. Plus, on the Steam Deck / Machine side of things, EmuDeck exists, but it isn't as big of a competitor as one might think. Smushing everything into Steam is, despite everything, hacky at the best of times. Your non-steam games stick around on your account whether you have them or not, and they all end up pointing at locations that don't exist any more. There's no integration with things like RetroAchievements. Metadata is limited to box art, mostly. I want to see LaunchBox on Linux because I enjoy having it REPLACE Steam as a front-end without having to put Windows on my Steam hardware, which just feels sacrilegious honestly.
