It’s clear there are some people who don’t understand Proton. So let’s talk about it. #Proton #SteamPlay #CompatibilityLayer
00:00 Introduction 00:41 The basics of a computer 01:46 What Proton is not 03:04 What is an emulator 04:32 Proton acts like a map 05:25 Proton translates API and system calls 06:18 Proton provides a Windows-like software environment 06:55 Why are some games incompatible? 08:52 Shouldn't we demand native Linux games? 11:07 Conclusion
Windows is a moving target. Wine/Proton is a reverse engineering chase of a moving target. WINDOWS GAMES ON PROTON BREAK ALL THE TIME! Stop making stuff. It’s great that Proton exists but it’s not like Java. What does not break? Flatpak Runtimes and Steam Linux Runtime.
