I know Steam on Linux uses a Wine environment to run Windows games, but I was recently reminded that you can run the Windows version of Steam in a Wine bottle. Is there any advantage to doing it this way instead of running the Linux client with Proton?

Very edge case but Team Fortress 2 doesn’t run in Proton mode (VAC error) but it works if you run Steam through Wine
