Coincidently one of the things they list (named pipes) as an improvement is something I've had a nuisance with for years. there's multiple things that I would love wine to have that it does not but proton does
for the millionth time they get to stand on the shoulders on all the wine development that came before it. and now we have to reckon with the bullshit of proton patches that never go upstream to make wine better for all
umu is in lutris, heroic, Faugus, and zoom so far that Ive heard of. bottles is in the middle of a huge rewrite but they got distracted by the little side project of making a new distro
performance should be the same. the big win is protonfixes, so when things change for SC we can get those into fixes that run automatically at every game launch instead of having to ask people to change things manually in lutris. at the moment these enable the launcher to be able to Verify, and patches Nvidia so that DLSS works
lutris pushed runtime updates without regression testing to make sure it worked with lutris 5.17, and then had to push out more updates to fix it. my favorite though was winetricks not being executable
finally. I hope next version of lutris uses the release its rc is sorely outdated now (edit lol they updated the runtime but didn't release a new version of lutris to use it)
can be casually disregarded with all the rest of the dates we've ever had
