Proton is Wine with prefixes, basically, you can use it without Steam on Lutris for example (Wine-GE suggested); also, emulation for old games isn’t so demanding, try different cores for RetroArch.
Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?
emulation for old games isn’t so demanding
By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it’s limits. I’ve tried ps3 emulation and it couldn’t pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).
If you want to learn more in depth about how Proton works I suggest you to ask here on [GloriousEggroll’s Discord](https://discord.gg/6y3BdzC.
For emulation, X360 and PS3 needs intense resources and their emulators may be in an early development state; look back to the previous generations, maybe with a cool megabezel shader on RA.
Wine-GE was abandoned for the new UMU-launcher. Lutris will use UMU if you target the GE-Proton (latest) version.
You can always use vanilla wine or wine staging too, make sure you install dxvk in the prefix though with winetricks.

Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that
Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.
