Strange take. Proton is an acknowledgment that the windows apis are the de facto for gaming. Not sure why the runtime matters. Some games ever run better. Not sure why that’s not the ”real deal” but whatever I’m glad you’re happy with your spyware gaming OS.
- pjmlp 2y agoNot really, I rather play on the platform they were designed for in first place.
- nottorp 2y agoDo you own a Playstation? :) If you're playing the likes of Fromsoft/Resident Evil/Kojima games on a PC, be it Windows or Linux, you're not playing on the platform those games were designed for.
- pjmlp 2y agoThe problem with your reasoning is that Windows/PC doesn't need to emulate Orbit OS and LibGNM, Sony also supports Direct X and Win32 directly on their engines.
- nottorp 2y ago"supports" as in I see articles in the PC gaming press about technical problems with From/Kojima games a year after I've finished said games on console with zero issues.
- pjmlp 2y agoWhere is Windows Proton like for Playstation APIs? "Technical issues" has many meanings.
- nottorp 2y agoThe point is, "the platform those games were designed for" is the Playstation API for some titles. So you'll get the best experience on there. Unless you play benchmarks instead of games, and care about 8k/1200 fps of course.
- pjmlp 2y agoThe point is, the game uses the platfrom APIs on the target OS, and doesn't need to emulate API from 3rd party platforms.
