No longer I start a game in the evening, wondering if it will start or not (I worked all day, I don’t want to google what I have to change to get the game to run again…). I double click and expect it to work (and it normally does).
the result is a perpetually growing pile of bandaids and things never getting fixed properly whether it’s in badly behaved games or drivers or things that should get addressed in wine and won’t be
Don’t changes into proton help both up and downstream? Valve also invests into this project which obviously amplifies the # of people working on it and can only lead to more breakthrus for the side projects associated with this tech.
