An initial Driver Store implementation.
Expanded support for ODBC Windows drivers.

There are just four programs\games I like that I can’t set up on Linux or find replacements for various reasons and that’s impressive. I thought I’d be akin to a struggling refugee here but no, everything but niche stuff works fine and sometimes when it doesn’t it’s due to devs being dicks. Wine and now Proton communities aren’t the makers of the Linux kernel\OS\DEs themselves, but they are ones of the fundamental bricks to my personal certainity I won’t (need to) switch back to Windows.
