I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Cool could this be an engine that would allow someone using DamnSmallLinux to get better frame rates?

      Proton is not an engine, it’s a compatibility layer and thus would decrease performance compared to native. However, sometimes it’s still faster on Linux because it has less overhead.
