So if I understand correctly, native Linux means a version that just runs on Linux as-is with dependencies, whereas a proton version is just making sure their Windows version runs well with proton? Isn't the first preferable?

@bamboombibbitybop It can do, sometimes it's basically none and often can run games better than a native build like in this case as the developer said

well, in the end I only care about being able to play games decently well on linux. I'd rather get a proton version instead of a not tested, never updates native linux version. Guess I'm just pragmatic like that.
