That is interesting. I thought that both Proton and WINE are identical forks and a monolith of all the feature offered by a front-end app that uses them, just that one is maintained by Steam, and the other by an open-source community. The DXVK stuff you’ve shared is new information to me, because I thought that WINE included that by default.
Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.
Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.
