The Linux gaming future looks bright, and I think is gonna be even better, consoles nowadays are just a mainstream PC and with streaming services (not much of my liking I must admit) will run games in servers and we all now what OS servers like :) and that is added to Vulkan.

I think it may also be relevant the AMD comeback, Nvidia already had to accept FreeSync and probably will have to open-up G-Sync to keep it relevant. Maybe something similar may happen with the drivers, that attitude of "my way or the highway" only works when there is no choice, (ask Intel :D ) maybe AMD puts enough pressure. I don't know the details of the relation of console makers and HW vendors but I would suspect that no console use Nvidia for a reason.

And if Proton, today, is good, added to more Vulkan adoption could mean that supporting Linux for game devs may become trivial.

A bright future indeed.
