it lets Windows games run on Linux, even if games aren't developed for Linux nativelyWhat is Proton?
I believe it's a brand of tampon.What is Proton?
It is a tool that internally uses Wine (a set of libraries that translate the Windows applications to run inside the Linux) to make games developed to Windows run on Linux.What is Proton?
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.
Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.
When people understand that they will stop to blame the developer/publisher that made and tested the game to run on Windows.TBH i'm surprised proton can't emulate that. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.
No they still deserve blame, there are plenty of games that run natively on Linux, Sony should do the same.When people understand that they will stop to blame the developer/publisher that made and tested the game to run on Windows.

It is how Valve and Linux fans as pushing games to Linux.
That is a wrong path imo... if you can't do developers to create native games to Linux then you failed to support the Linux as a gaming platform.
Using a compatibility layer or emulation to make windows games run on Linux is not support the platform.
It just a bandaid.
And whatever issue exists can't be blamed on developer or publisher... all issues have to be blamed and fixed by Proton team.
After all the game has no issue on Windows... so something is not right in the compatibility layer and/or emulation.
BTW that is how Proton and Wine describe themselves:
And your point it?No they still deserve blame, there are plenty of games that run natively on Linux, Sony should do the same.
my point is they should be supporting Linux nativelyAnd your point it?
Sony never did a game for Linux... it runs via translation/emulation so you have to talk with the emulator/translator dev why it is not working![]()
