I'm taking the opportunity to ask something I wanted to know since a long time, but never asked. What is the difference between proton and wine?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Wine is a compatibility layer for windows programs. Wine aims to be general purpose for all windows based programs. Proton is a compatibility layer that focuses primarily on video games. Proton includes a patched version on Wine.

Wine is developed by CodeWeavers, while Proton is developed by Valve with cooperation from CodeWeavers.

It's basically a games focused Wine.
