I absolute do remember the pre proton era, but for Linux users it should have been common knowledge that Proton exists and worked pretty well for years. And it's certainly less effort to try at least a little to get a game working you already own (by looking it up on protondb if it doesn't work right away) than to boot into Windows specifically for gaming.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.
