Exciting news for Linux gamers. Valve has introduced a new version of Proton, a specialized layer for Wine designed to run Windows games on Linux. It's primarily used for launching games from Steam, but it can also be used for other Windows games.
Key Changes:
The new release is based on Wine version 5.0;
Games that support Direct3D 9 will use Vulkan as the default engine;
Improved support for games from the Steam library, especially those using Denuvo DRM;
DXVK has been updated to v1.5.4, and FAudio to 20.02;
Enhanced support for surround sound in older games.
As of early February, the website protondb.com reports 6502 games successfully running on Linux via Proton.
