    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.
