Do you think valve hasn’t been investing a crazy amount in Linux gaming? Has any other person or company done more to make gaming better on the platform?

No I don’t think it has been investing a crazy amount.

The wine project has done MUCH more overall. Hands down.

And they haven been polluting out systems with proprietary software,nor they ever endorsed gambling,dlcs and always online drms:)

It’s not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn’t an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.

It’s impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.

Edit: I didn’t see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well…

Never said it was.

I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don’t. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.

I’ve been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.

I never said that also. Just stating that valve did one thing good for Linux gamers and 1000 bad ones. Wine did only good.

What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) “one” good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?

Wine never let me play games with this much compatibility or performance. This is just steam hate for the sake of it.

of course i do im just not going to sit here and pretend that Steam hasn’t done a tremendous amount to make that accessible and easier. None of this is a dig on Wine I used it for years. idk why you’re coming off so aggressive about wine you need to chill
