Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.
Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.
That’s not Baldurs Gate, it’s Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance which is a completely different game that was on consoles. It was an Action RPG as opposed to an RPG.
But it was also great fun. Especially with a friend.

Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It’s been discounted down to like 3€ a few times

Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.
Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.

Thanks!
The Steam version might be using the steam runtime, which would explain why you aren’t having dependency issues.
Previous Baldur’s Gate games came out on old ass consoles, you can play it emulated without a hitch. I know I definitely played BG2 on Dolphin

All valid reasons. Idk if EE released for console.
You can play Baldur’s Gate on all sorts of machines using GemRB. Not the enhanced version though.
