The one that explicitly states in its license that you’re not allowed to ship anything using it?

It’s meant more to help developers with their porting efforts though, not really meant for normal users like Valve’s doing with Proton.

You mean repackaged Wine that they’re pretending to have invented? Yeah should do.

Really just repackaged Proton, with some ridiculous install requirements including fucking Homebrew.

It’s not even Alpha level software right now. But, just to argue their side: it is meant as a preview for game developers to package their games with right now, and not the general public.

Still… Fucking Homebrew.

Okay but it’s like, what other package managers exist on MacOS?

Obviously they’re going to include Homebrew to fulfill dependencies in a more curated way than just bringing them down with the installer itself.
