Tl;Dr: Proton GE has extra game specific performance and compatibility patches that Proton doesn't target for whatever reason.

Too long but I typed it out so might as well post it anyway: This is how I understand it goes like—

Now, we know Proton: a Valve-maintained fork of the venerable Wine project with many many gaming and game specific patches, made for Steam.

Proton can be used outside of Steam, of course, but it isn't really designed to be, there be quirks. Plus, Valve maintains what goes into Proton, so if anyone really wants to play a certain Windows game that doesn't quite run well enough on Proton and put in the work needed to make the necessary changes, it's probably not getting added to Proton just yet (I frankly don't know how or whether Valve accepts PRs at all). And Wine does not really want game specific patches in the runtime. Wine wants to be as generally compatible as possible.

That's why most Proton variants exist. A certain Glorious Eggroll maintains this one, which has quite a few patches for games that aren't targeted by Proton either at all or well enough, as well as making sure it can run outside of Steam (there are other variants of the patches for vanilla Wine or for use in Lutris as well, I think?)

I was kinda warming up to the totally unintended slightly inconsistent mineral based naming scheme tbh. But then, hadn't fully...

"Build making" roguelites like Hades etc. These days I've been playing far too much Magicraft while trying to keep sane.

Most importantly, I find, it let's us turn off mentions on replies by default.

I would at the very least break their fingers if they touch my keyboard.

No hammer needed...

Great! Bazzite.gg will point to it soon then? It still redirected to the GitHub for me.

Edit: cached result! The new site loaded on my phone! Very swish :)

I'm sure it'll get a Bazzite port within weeks.

I want this to be a thing so much...

But I cannot overlook the fact that this "website" is composed entirely of images and none of the text is properly aligned.

Maybe that's what he meant by uncomfortable angles...

I get this a lot in my Steam Deck (desktop mode). But the most infuriating thing of all is when a podcast I already finished starts from the beginning after a wake the device up.

Did you happen to notice if yours also said touch support: none?
