Why does this headline read like an overstated CV achievement?

[-] exu@feditown.com 14 points 17 hours ago

Because XDA is an Android forum attached to a blogspam site.

How does this compare to valve's proton for running Windows programs?

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 8 points 12 hours ago

Proton is Wine with dipping sauces and gaming stuff. When it comes to running Windows Programs they'll run basically the same things.

Not necessarily.

I've had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton.

It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn't save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine.

My point is it's very rare but it can happen.

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.
