alt Hacker NewsAll good and dandy, except Valve's failure to have studios target Linux, including games that already make use of compatible APIs, like those using Android NDK.
Thus Proton depends on Windows as source ecosystem, only yet another platform to "emulate" on Linux, like MAME, Amiga, Playstation, whatever.
I can't disagree with that, of course. I can only point to Valve at least shipping their games (notably CS2 and Deadlock) native, and the overall improvement in the performance and ergonomics of Proton in the past decade.
