   Happy birthday, Proton!
   And a heartfelt thanks to @codeweavers, Valve, and everyone else in the open source community for changing #Linux #gaming forever.

     @ReverseModule @codeweavers It has become so good that I'm now conditioned to automatically assume whatever game I want to check out will "just work." The first few years I was always checking ProtonDB or reddit.

     It's SO reliable now, aside from that handful of anti-cheat games.

     @killyourfm @codeweavers I still remember testing Linux for a Networks class in October 2018.

     I thought of checking Linux Gaming after like 10 years off it, so I googled "Linux Gaming 2018".

     A weird Proton utility apparently let you play Windows games on Linux without effort and was in Steam (which was also native apparently). I was surprised so I thought "Why not?".

     Needless to say, an hour later I was ABSOLUTELY astounded by how well this new Proton thing worked.
