It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    …and nobody mentions WINE that did the work for years, before it was boosted by Proton development.

    We were playing Windows games before Proton, although the library was far smaller and nothing rarely worked without some extra steps.

      Also DXVK, though the period of time where DXVK existed and Proton didn’t is rather short (a little bit more than half a year).
