It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    It would be nice though if Valve finally dropped 32 bit Steam client dependencies, and maybe made a wow64 Proton build. I’m really tired of enabling multilib just for Steam.

      Would 64-bit Proton be able to support old 32-bit games?

        Yeah, that’s what wow64 does.

      while eac itself doesn’t depend on 32bit it doesn’t currently support wow64 wine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
