Proton is the abstraction layer that Valve made to allow the steam deck to easily play games developed for windows. It’s made the moat that Microsoft has in the PC gaming space a lot more shallow. It’s based on Wine
And Proton is so good that can at times exceed the performance you can get on native windows. Mind, it is rare.
So i guess this can be included in other Linux OSs to help with game compatibily and that's why it's a big deal? Or just foe the steamdeck (sorry for maybe stupid question but I'm completely new to this).
To my knowledge proton works across Linux distros but I’m not positive
