Getting Windows games to run on Linux in the first place is "a miracle", it's amazing how well many games run and perform. However, you're really not supposed to run Windows games on Linux. Just like you're not supposed to run PlayStation games on Windows. Windows games and Windows applications are meant to be run on Windows, not on Linux. I appreciate the piece but you lost me here. I get that Proton isn't as good as a native title, but how do we get from there to being told what I'm "supposed" to run on my computer? Emulators are a pretty valid use case I think. I'm glad the author's family is comfortable on Linux, but I hope they won't get this type of bad advice if they happen to ask about Linux gaming (or emulation! or compatibility libraries for foreign systems, or ...).
