Linux ABI compatibility is a fuck. Valve archives an acceptable level of Linux game compatibility by shipping ancient Ubuntu libraries. Honestly Proton is the better option. > if microsoft changed their apis wouldnt new games just not work om proton? If game developers make use of the new API and wine or proton doesn't add support for the new API. Sure. It happens it's not a big problem just an ongoing effort. It won't break all existing games just new builds that use the newest APIs that aren't supported. I think the bigger risk is Microsoft harassing wine or proton developers. Perhaps similar to the oracle google lawsuit about the use of the Java API in the android SDK.
