Who played on linux before proton?

Dink Smallwood
I try to only support the games that provide a linux gnu build but proton has really made that a fuzzy line.
I got NFS Most Wanted (2005) working in Wine, and was somewhat impressed how easy it was at the time. Game worked quite well, and would only crash once in a while with some cryptic errors that I don't remember. Made me hopeful for the future of linux gaming :)
I played a lot on my laptop with Debian 9 with just plain wine and one prefix for everything (I don't remember the wine version).
I can't remember all the games I played, but I do remember the last 3: all the Deadspace
I played cracked Minecraft on Xubuntu in 2014. And some games on Wine too.
It was, if you were born in the 21st century.
