Valve and Proton is pretty dang good, tbh.

No issues, even with AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077. Anti-cheat is a thing they're working on too, but ultimately it'll require kernel modules and I'm not cool with that, but more in the "not gonna play those games" sense.



But I wasn’t talking about video games; I have a Steam Deck and I like it. I have lots of old / unmaintained Windows software for various gadgets that doesn’t have alternatives and has major blocking issues in Wine-like environments, up to and including failing to launch. For those, a Windows VM or a dedicated Windows system is much less of a headache.
