      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.

          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.
