  I think it might be the other way around, Valve(proton) improves wine. Since they(valve) started working on game compatibility both wine, and dxvk has gotten a lot of love.

    As far as I know, Wine has not primarily been a hobbyist project for about 15 years, with the bulk of development being done by CodeWeavers, which uses it as the basis for their CrossOver product. I don't believe any of that has substantially changed with the advent of Proton, though I assume that Valve is paying CodeWeavers to also pay attention to Proton issues.
