Looking forward to 9.2! I’m eagerly awaiting the fix for the Webview2 installer
Great question. It is based on Wine 9 and so, I expect, it has experimental Wayland support that is not enabled by default.
Holy shit Lord of the Rings: Gollum is finally playable!
Every time I see the notes for a proton update I thing “what even are half of these games” and find myself amazed that they actually fix all these obscure bugs.
Does it come with a native Wayland support, or is it still X only?
I have heard it was “disabled” but the comment wasn’t substantiated. enabling Wayland on regular wine 9 is no more than a registry edit and an env variable
At least for Valve’s Proton, it’s disabled entirely for now. Issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4638
For GE and Tkg, it’s not impossible that they will either leave it hidden in the menus, like regular Wine does, or leave it on some experimental CI branch
Do the version numbers for proton imply anything serious? Or is it like the kernel version numbers. I never quite understand, they seem to be really active, but maybe having Ubuntu style numbers would make more sense here?
It implies that it’s based on WINE 9.0 and its feature/bug set.
I don’t think that is any related to linux.
Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.
Not kernel, not coreutils nor busybox, not nonportable linux utilities, not even a new distro for script kiddies.
On this community kernel features and discussion aren’t even posted (much)
