It's not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn't an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.
It's impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.
Edit: I didn't see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well...
Never said it was.
I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don't. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.
I've been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.
I never said that also. Just stating that valve did one thing good for Linux gamers and 1000 bad ones. Wine did only good.
What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) "one" good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?
