    Every time I see the notes for a proton update I thing “what even are half of these games” and find myself amazed that they actually fix all these obscure bugs.

    Do the version numbers for proton imply anything serious? Or is it like the kernel version numbers. I never quite understand, they seem to be really active, but maybe having Ubuntu style numbers would make more sense here?

      It implies that it’s based on WINE 9.0 and its feature/bug set.

      Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.

        Not kernel, not coreutils nor busybox, not nonportable linux utilities, not even a new distro for script kiddies.

        On this community kernel features and discussion aren’t even posted (much)
