What a wonderful time, I always wanted Wine to be the best alternative for gaming back in the days, seems that it never caught up (I'm not a Linux user anymore).

Proton is a fork of Wine with some patches specifically for games. I think Valve contribute the patches back as well but I could be wrong.

Ohh... TIL.

Yeah if Valve helped that would explain why it got better.

Sorry, not sure I was clear. 😅

Proton is Valve’s fork of Wine. I meant that I think Valve contribute patches back to upstream Wine as well.
