An arm port of proton would let you run what? Solitaire?

Something more like "Death's Door" or "Valheim" would be something that interests me personally :)

So yeah, I have no idea how Proton works.

So proton is basically wine, and wine is not an emulator, so there's the first clue. :) It doesn't change cpu architecture.

From the release note above, I guess FEX would have been the "Rosetta 2" for Asahi but seems to be also out of the question ATM so you are right no Proton indeed for the time being. I didn't know Proton was WINE-IS-NOT-an-EMULATOR based thanks for info :)

Well, too bad...

Eventually 4k page size kernels will work too (but 16k has better performance)
