probably you’re right, I haven’t yet done the research to understand how to use them properly or know the difference (iirc proton is wine modified by valve but that’s about as much as I know), I haven’t had time to look closely into it

that reminds me of this “women of reddit, what’s the sexies sex you’ve ever sexed with an overweight gamer?”

I’m not sure if it’s better to play native linux games than to use wine

some games I tried, the native linux version had broken lighting, while the wine version worked fine

also with wine all your saves are in the game folder, and it doesn’t make a mess by saving files wherever the developer thought would do the job

also it’s easier to find the latest version for windows than it is for linux
