Quoting: elmapul"-Reworked global Steam Play enable settings to only override the Proton version used by unsupported games

IMHO: Supported games use the Proton version Valve chooses and supports; you can choose a version for the rest.

Quoting: elmapul-Fixed a bug where the global Steam Play enable setting wouldn't prompt for a Steam client restart"

IMHO: Enabling Proton globally will result in a request to restart Steam.

Quoting: sbolokanovUNIX world is all about different opinions and ways of doing things. You don't expect everybody to be just like you, now do you?

That's why I dislike this "You're doing it wrong!" attitude. Do what you're happy with, help others if they want to do it the same way, let those who want something else do something else.

Only loosely connected, I don't understand people who do everything with the command line. There's uses for command line and uses for GUIs, IMHO.

Quoting: GuestWow, seems I've stirred things up with the fanboys. Cool down folks.

Would you try not to get personal in the first sentence next time? Even more so when complaining about other people insulting? Thanks.

Quoting: GuestI've been one-click installing games through Steam, via wine, for years. With no troubles. Apparently I baked a wonderful cake quite some time ago.

That's fine. For you. But it obviously doesn't help anybody else.

Quoting: Guest"Proton" has never run a single game for me that didn't run through vanilla wine. In many cases, vanilla wine runs a game that "Proton" won't. I don't see that being in favour of "Proton".

To which argument is this a reaction? I cannot remember it...

Quoting: Patola...having said all that (from a mobile phone), my steam beta updated twice today but hasn't shown me the option to force steam play on the titles. :( Anyone else has that problem?

I guess you already tried to turn it off and back on again?

Quoting: GuestOk, still beta, but that doesn't change my original confusion: why the excitement over something that could already be done, and could be done for some time already? If I'm not clear, I honestly don't understand.

While I got more concerns than being excited about Proton (and neither use WINE nor Proton for gaming), Proton..
* is easier to use,
* makes games count as Linux sale and
* offers Valve's support for the whitelisted games.

Quoting: LinasMostly negative reviews, but when I look at the reviews themselves, only 3 of them are negative on the front page. :S:

I'm always getting this. But you can filter for negative reviews to see why they disliked it.

Quoting: tuubiThe project sure could use more contributors. Development seems active enough, but ripping out Allegro seems like a major undertaking nobody seems interested in tackling.

Wouldn't updating Allegro be easier - and helping?
(I though about writing up an article how to work around the mouse lag bug with fast polling mice...)

Quoting: PhlebiacNAT on the client side, SNI on the server side - and suddenly the "shortage" isn't so important.

Yes, but it does yield problems... Every computer being able to reach every computer by individual address would be fine.
