    I still remember right after Proton was released, the awe of seeing 95% of my Steam library “just work” without any real major fiddling with WINE. Being able to nuke my WINE install of Steam was glorious.

      Mine was watching all my friends playing monster hunter world and someone mentioning on Reddit that it worked well on proton. Bought and downloaded and it ran after fiddling with the settings one of my friends invited me and just said, “bout time”
