Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

Context:
Back in 2018, Philip Robohle (doitsujin) developed DXVK because he wanted to play Nier Automata on Linux.
Valve hired him to work on it full time, then they released Proton (Wine + DXVK) a few months later. Proton likely would never have existed if it weren't for DXVK, and by extension the Steam Deck either wouldn't exist or would use Windows instead, and all the other cool Linux-related stuff Valve have worked on since probably wouldn't have happened.
Desktop Linux's marketshare rising is obviously not exclusively because of the gaming improvements, but it's for sure a huge boon. Good enough for a dumb meme like this, lol
I switched to Linux around 2019, I thought dxvk was a lot older. How did games run in wine without dxvk?
Wine had its own translation layer that would translate to opengl. It just wasn't that good.
