Not that I care much about internet points but I'm trying to understand why this is being so heavily downvoted as every reply I got is either agreeing or kind of agreeing with me.
This is not a criticism for Proton, I find that getting this performance on an emulated environment is nothing short than a miracle looking from 5~10 years ago.
My only intention was to set expectation accordingly for new users. And I stand by everything I've said. My hope is that in 5 years this comment will be completely outdated and new users can have compatibility and performance on par with windows, even on bad hardware.
I'm guessing the downvotes are from Valve/Steam fanboys who don't like any criticism of their favorite company; I see it all the time on social media sites. Valve have said that they will have every Steam game running under Proton by the end of the year, so pointing out that it's misleading statement at best will draw the ire of people who worship Lord Gaben.
