Hi, I run GamingOnLinux.com. Happy to be part of a more open place to share and chat with you all.
@mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.ml I saw that you shared it on reddit earlier, but the post is gone, did the mods just nuke it?
I wonder if the author was just copying verbatim from an Epic press release?
No, I just chose that wording.
Who but corpo snakes, habitual shedders of skin in service of new exploitative endeavors, would use such a word?
Well, me, obviously.
Seems really fucking weird to focus so much on the word like this.
ETA Prime didn’t test anywhere near enough. The game is rough, really rough on Deck.

Nice to see some comments like yours truly get it. The amount of people I’ve seen that now use Linux just because of Proton is surprising. It also gave us the Steam Deck. Valve do tons and people saying it’s just “Wine patches” or moaning I didn’t focus on Wine are missing the big picture that you get nicely :)
I feel like attributing this to Valve is really disrespectful to the folks who developed wine for decades
Honestly, it feels like comments like this are just intentionally missing the big picture, or just don’t understand any of what Valve actually do.
It’s been said by comments elsewhere, but Wine was really not good years ago. It was difficult to use, obscure as you had to seek it out and know what to do. Valve funded DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, various extra Wine patches and pushed it all together into Proton with Q&A testing, regular upgrades for big games to get them working ASAP and put it in front of millions easily directly in the Steam client.
and more recently also Vulkan
Which once again, Valve massively helped push and even hosted the early discussions on it.
Ah okay, thought the mods were doing their thing again, they do keep removing gol posts <_<, i deleted my reddit account - all in on lemmy and fediverse now (but appreciate you sharing it there!)
