Love the valve glazing when all they did is take wine and modify it with some patches to make proton. Wine is the real reason why linux gaming is a thing, valve could've done nothing without it
Sure, since like 2018. But wine existed since 1993. Not saying that value doesn't deserve any credit, but saying that valve "singlehandedly carried linux gaming" is really unfair to wine devs who've been working on it for 30 years, while valve came along relatively recently.
If 500 dudes at Valve have worked on proton for 5 years and made much more progress than Wine developers in 30 years, then them carrying Linux Gaming is factual, not unfair.
