        Valve didn’t invent that. It’s a slightly modified fork of Wine - software that people have been developing and using for 30 years.

        And ? How is it supposed to comes into contradiction with the fact it’s open source ? There’s many things based on something, it’s not new

          Valve mainly makes proprietary software. Proton doesn’t do anything new. It just contains some fixes for Steam games. Nobody cares about it other than Steam users. You are acting like they invented something here. They didn’t. They just want to lock you in their platform.

            I don’t think you realise how this “little change” drastically affect linux gaming.

            No shit sherlock.

            They just want to lock you in their platform.

            If they wanted to lock us on their platform, they would add a vendor lock on the steam deck(nothing stop you to install any others linux distro on it, or even windows even if i don’t recommend it), they would not explain how to use proton outside of steam(which for them is a catch, because it gives the possibility to linux users to play steam cracked games), i probably forgot many others things but you got my point.
