It’s clear there are some people who don’t understand Proton. So let’s talk about it. #Proton #SteamPlay #CompatibilityLayer
00:00 Introduction
00:41 The basics of a computer
01:46 What Proton is not
03:04 What is an emulator
04:32 Proton acts like a map
05:25 Proton translates API and system calls
06:18 Proton provides a Windows-like software environment
06:55 Why are some games incompatible?
08:52 Shouldn't we demand native Linux games?
11:07 Conclusion
Ah, you mean in a future where Linux overtakes Windows as the primary gaming machine. But hard to believe this will become true in the near future. Especially if we talk about commercial games to abandon Windows. I would like to see such a feature, but doubt it would happen in my lifetime honestly (i’m no longer young BTW). In such a scenario, Microsoft probably would start supporting games with WSL, if they don’t have a different strategy.
I don’t think they care anymore. Their money makers are Azure and M365 at this point, and the OS is just getting ignored (except where they can make more money/data)
Windows store apps are their own special pain in the ass for other reasons (patching on multi-user systems, as it installs apps to the user profile for some godforsaken reason)
We’re at least 28 years into ‘Totally year of the Linux desktop!’, so I must say I’m afraid your right.
This has been a shockingly long-tail of inertia, and if people haven’t started moving by now I can’t see what exactly would suddenly cause people to decide to learn a new OS - which is a huge time investment - and all new software.
Maybe if Nadella starts breaking into people’s houses and wrecking up the place?
If it helps you understand, yes. I am not so sure microsoft has no chance. I see a lot of youngers gamers, ones not as competent or careful, using just whatever is available to install games.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I could see them abandoning Windows as it is and instead making their own Linux distro, maybe in like the year 2100 lol
2100? Lol https://www.zdnet.com/article/say-hi-to-microsofts-own-linux-cbl-mariner/
Azure server etc running on linux too…
Now we just need to wait for Microsoft to ditch Windows lol

winget and the windows store are growing tho

Yep, it’s not finished by a long shot. But it’s enough competition to make even Valve divest from windows
