From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really hope Proton 10 will have some sort of Wayland support, even if it would be hidden behind an environmental variable
I really hope Proton would stop running a container. It makes running additional programs harder (opentrack for example) and our computers less ours
Does it? What containerization does it use? I thought it was similar to wine, just a process pointed at a windows exe, and an environment to make the app think it's running in a windows filesystem.
Yes it does.

I believe there is a project to add a Steam independent version of it to Bottles, Lutris, and other proton guis.

Ahh, I always wondered what "pressure-vessel" was. Thanks for the resources.
