Valve's Proton, a modified version of Wine
| I shouldn't drink while making a threax
| Hmm I doubt they'll mess with the gog version, though it might not be easy to run non-steam games in proton
| Valves software is mostly OK, but I'm not sure if this one is necessary.
| Eh, I'll still continue playing on Windows. Wine will always have performance and compatibility issues.
| I for one, welcome our Linux gaming overlords
| >>392129 I'd argue it's very important, if Linux takes over the desktop people average users aren't going to have fun fumbling around with wine trying to get everything installed so that *one* game will work, with this it's just install and run from the native steam client, no special config no winetricks or anything
| >>393556 "if Linux becomes popular with the people who don't know anything about computers then people who don't know anything about computers will be using Linux!?!" I fail to see this as a bad thing, more people using Linux more likely for native programs games and such and we won't be treated as a second or third class platform

| >>394264 I doubt making a few simple distros will remove all complexity, it's not like having Ubuntu killed Arch or Gentoo.
The goal is to make it as simple as windows, that is to say not that simple do I think it's likely we could do something like that, call packages apps make a gui for apt and snap together and you've basically removed the terminal for average users

| They are promising to make linux gaming a lot better with their own open-version Wine fork. What do you think?
I have a feeling that they might mess with the GOG versions intentionally while making the steam versions fully compatible.
