      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.
