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.

I think another point worth mentioning is that some anti-cheats allow proton, which is nice if you wanna play online with others in a competitive game.

I believe they do this by checking the hashes of a lot of the system32 type stuff, I'm not convinced it would just work in vanilla wine.
