   I said a few years ago that we'd only need about 10 years until Proton/Wine runs everything
   
   I'm already at the level where I just purchase any random shit on Steam and everything runs, I don't even have to check ProtonDB anymore

     @gamer @coolboymew That, and I think devs are afraid of losing out on the Steam Deck owner demographic, and make the small effort left to ensure their game works on Wine/Proton. Whereas before if it didn't work immediately any additional effort at all was too much for the like 3 potential linux users who might be interested.

     @berkberkman FreeCAD, Ardour, GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Blender, ffmpeg are all well developed free software projects and many more exist that allow you to make whatever creative and audiovisual things you want.
     
     Although just have a different interface to the proprietary malware, functionally wise they're far better in my experience and they're improving day by day - but of course the proprietary addled sort complain when they've been provided with excellent software gratis that isn't exactly the same.

     @coolboymew I'm still waiting for a Wine/Proton equivalent for creative/Adobe/audiovisual stuff just to compete against Apple, Adobe, and Autodesk. Artists are still relying upon it for way too long.

     @berkberkman >called OpenToonz
     Looks pretty proprietary to me: https://opentoonz.github.io/e/download/opentoonz.html
     
     I know Synfig is free mind you; https://www.synfig.org/
     
     
     I don't even need to look at what Dreamworks released to know it's proprietary.

     @Suiseiseki They're all great software. There's another one that's overlooked called OpenToonz, and Dreamworks released their rendering tech, MoonRay, with an MIT license. Expensive color calibration software that those professionals use will still persist, but there's at least DisplayCAL, which fully supports Linux.

     >opentoonz/thirdparty/superlu
     Binaries and no source code.
     Upstream seems proprietary: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiaoyeli/superlu/master/License.txt
     
     >opentoonz/thirdparty/quicktime
     Empty, but contains instructions as to how to install the proprietary software
     
     >opentoonz/thirdparty/canon
     Instructions to copy a proprietary canon library
     
     That's the 6th time in a row I've come across "open" software that smells proprietary.
