>A large chunk of the Steam library worked perfectly fine on Linux before Proton.
Source? My recollection was that it didn't. Wine had awful direct x translation, I'm not sure if it could do dx11 at all when the steam machine came out. DXVK is a proton project and without it few games could actually run at all.
- coldpie 2y ago> Wine had awful direct x translation That's not fair. Vulkan didn't exist when the original Steam Machines launched. Wine's Direct3D implementation also had different goals than the DXVK project, such as supporting macOS, older hardware, and non-gaming DirectX uses.
- AndrewDucker 2y agoIt doesn't matter what's fair. It's whether it worked or not that counts. It didn't, now it does. That's an awesome positive step.
- coldpie 2y agoI don't think it's good to be rude about other peoples' work without a really good reason :)
- Vt71fcAqt7 2y agoSure, but GP's claim was that the statement "Notably the Steam Machines didn't have any equivalent to Proton" is false.
