7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

As I said on my own feed, I can play some old games on Linux via proton that won't work on windows even if you change compatibility mode. Linux is actually better at running old windows games than windows is. Strange times 😀
