Proton is so good that it probably erased 90% of the vanilla Wine gaming community, and if you ask anything about running a Steam game on Wine, the answer is "use Proton." Which is a problem for Mac users wanting to run games (Proton is Linux-only), but then again there was never much of an expectation for that.

Nah, even Wine is quite good these days. Lutris doesn't bundle Proton but still works quite well. I guess really the secret sauce is more DXVK. It's kinda nuts how like 10 years ago we went from maybe 10% of games working well on Wine to 10% of games don't work well under Wine.
