From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used to use VFIO several years ago, but these days every game I want to play/ have played recently have all just worked out of the box with Proton. VFIO was always fragile, but it worked great when it did. It has the same problems Proton has with anti-cheat, since its still a VM. So your milage varies depending on the games you want to run.
That was my experience as well: ran VFIO for a couple years but Proton got good enough that the trouble wasn't worth it.
