        You may also want to run non-steam games. I’m still new to linux and haven’t tried that yet but I think I will need to for my GoG library.

        Steam uses Proton under the hood which is based on wine. From the repo

        Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.

          I wouldn’t really call it a fork from my understanding, but rather a (downstream) distribution. But maybe those are just semantics

            Semantics make a difference where you least expect it to sometimes. Good to be correct, even if it seemingly doesn’t matter in the context. 👌

        I use wine for FFXIV. proton kinda works but not for my case. Certain mods use a bleeding edge version of dotnet and this version is not present in proton.
