Implying you cant game on linux

What W10 games?
The UWP?
It will play them as soon as Windows 10 starts supporting native Linux games :^)

>implying Valve won't abandon Proton
>actually looks like they already have since the latest release was over 5 months ago

The fuck are you talking about? Latest proton version came a week ago

github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/commits/proton_4.2
Nah, Valve seem pretty fucking serious about getting off the Windows menace.

>Valve open-sourcing their code
are they not afraid everyone's just gonna steal it and implement it in rival platforms? they did the same with their most recent Steam networking shit that lets any dev use it.

Caring about Proton being used by other clients is a far cry from the worry they have about Windows taking more control over the average users desktop experience

And, having it open source is a great way develop this sort of thing, there are alot of games that require special tweaks and since everyone can contribute the product is more solid overall rather than hiring a team of 100-200 and having it closed

What the fuck are you talking about?
Do you even understand what Proton and Wine are?
Also free software only has benefits, as Valve and the Proton team have thousands of people doing the menial (And unpaid) work of testing every game they can't get to and finding obscure bugs.
The point of Proton is to get all windows games just werking on linux, so Valve can abandon Windows or atleast finally make Linux their primary platform. The only company this hurts in the long-term is M$.

free =/= open source
get back to me once you understand the difference, dipshit.

How are Wine and Proton not free software?
Unless you're going to get pedantic about the license(s) not being explicitly copyleft, then sure you're right, but you're also a faggot.

Can't you do that VM shit with a "graphics pipeline" to your GPU and it runs at like 90% the speed it would if you ran it on native Windows?
