If you play older games, particularly DOS/Win95 era titles, the concrete reality is that DOSBox and Wine have better compatibility.
Even some recent games, eg. Elden Ring, have unfixed stuttering issues on Windows that were fixed on-release in Proton. I'm willing to give Windows it's due because I don't think it's a terrible gaming environment, but it's a direct downgrade for a lot of the games I enjoy playing.

- bigyabai 7mo agoI'll take your word for it. I haven't used Windows since Windows 10, maybe Win11 fixed Bethesda's alt-tab crashing errors and reduced memory consumption - I'd never know.
