  Yup, the touchpads are cool, but I would’ve bought a Steam Deck without them, but I wouldn’t if Proton didn’t exist. I was on Linux already when the Steam Deck came out, so I was already familiar with Proton.

  That’s more of a killer feature for Linux in general.

  And I can’t undersell how big of a deal that is. When Windows 10 dies, I’m switching my desktop to Linux simply because Proton makes me want to use Linux.

    Don’t wait, you’ll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!

    Was it around before the Steam Deck?

      Proton is an evolution of wine, an open source project. Wine has been around since… 1993 according to Wikipedia.

        Unless it was released with the Steam Deck…?
