Isn’t it kinda crazy that Proton is used not only as a way to play Windows games without Linux support, but also as a specific target because it’s more stable than Linux? (Stable as in “works predictably like expected”, not as in “doesn’t have bugs”)
Linux as a target is super difficult due different kernels, drivers, distros, DEs, libraries, services and so on. Proton just abstracts all that away and thus is a much easier target to develop for.

Given how quickly Linux games stop working once support is dropped, they really should start distributing them as flatpacks.
It’s the API linux needed all along.
It would be hilarious if Windows is “depreciated” as a gaming OS and all devs target proton on PCs, heh.
