It’s clear there are some people who don’t understand Proton. So let’s talk about it. #Proton #SteamPlay #CompatibilityLayer
00:00 Introduction 00:41 The basics of a computer 01:46 What Proton is not 03:04 What is an emulator 04:32 Proton acts like a map 05:25 Proton translates API and system calls 06:18 Proton provides a Windows-like software environment 06:55 Why are some games incompatible? 08:52 Shouldn't we demand native Linux games? 11:07 Conclusion
Yeah, can’t get market share without games, but it’s hard to get games without marketshare. Proton made sure we have games, now we need marketshare. Once we have marketshare we’ll get more high quality linux native ports (I hope).
