I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Short time? Proton is built around Wine, which is 30 years old. 30 years is not a short time.

      Remember the wine days where proton didn’t exist? Barely any game was playable.

      We got from unplayable to “download and play” within 5 years
