Not to belittle their work, but the majority of stuff that made up proton wasn’t theirs back then (basically wine+dxvk did the heavy lifting). They owned up to it in the end, paying driver developers and hiring dxvk authors and if I’m not mistaken also fund some wine work. A rather successful open source story but they aren’t the initial driving force.
TIL Valve started and maintains Proton…
