    I test games for a living and most of the time wine runs perfectly fine. You can also just use umu laucher which does everything for you.

    Also I don’t really get your point. Who’s forcing you to use wine instead of proton?

      I’m not aware of how things are now, but at least previously you couldn’t really use Proton outside of Steam.

      So I assume OC defends Steam as the only platform that can smoothly run games with Proton instead of regular Wine, which does not work as well for certain games and/or requires tedious configuration.

        You are right about proton. But the tedious configuration part is not true. Proton and ge-wine(now UMU) do the same thing, i.e applying custom patches. Wine base package is not expected to do this.
