Valve's Proton Has Brought 6000 Windows Games to Linux So Far
I hadn't heard of Proton before and the article doesn't explain. Here's what the GitHub repo for it says [1]:> 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.My question is, what's the "secret sauce"? If this is in fact that much more successful than Wine, what's different? Is Valve putting lots of dev time into it? Or is it just pre-configured for ease of use?[1] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton
