Grumble. Proton is great, but let's not pretend Lord Gaben did it all, proton is built on top of wine.

Yes and before valve got involved gaming on wine was a hit and miss (mostly a miss). Whereas now basically 100% of the games i play just work with no to minimal tinkering. They put in a lot of effort to get all the kinks out. And steam input is also a huge factor in this. Downplaying their involvement is akin to downplaying wine's achievements because it's built on top of linux.

I'm not downplaying proton, proton is great and I use it a lot, but when people tout proton and how awesome it is, wine is downplayed. Wine has been a huge project for years and years.
