Quoting: dubigrasuNaive question, what's with the name Proton? Must be some reason behind this name. Just curious.

We've been working on this for a long time. We needed an internal codename we could use that wouldn't tip our hand if it leaked (so Wine puns are out), and that we wouldn't be embarrassed to continue using after release (sorry, BadgerBadgerBadger). A bunch of ideas were tossed around the CodeWeavers office one afternoon, and I ended up picking Proton because it's short, easy to remember, sounds cool, and is hard to Google for.

What option for DXVK_HUD do I need to display the DXVK version? I tried "DXVK_HUD=1" and "DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps" but all they would display was the Nvidia driver version and the Vulkan version.

Quoting: mylkahave you thought linux would ever have AAA titles like tomb raider or hitman?

...yes. During the first big wave of Linux gaming, starting around 2001, we had a bunch of great games, including some pretty big titles, years before Steam even existed.

Here are just a few of what I played back in the day: Civilization: Call to Power, Descent 1-III, Neverwinter Nights, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament (and 2003, and 2004), FreeSpace 2, Heretic II, Soldier of Fortune, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Majesty Gold, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Postal 1+2, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Railroad Tycoon II, Rune, Serious Sam: The First/Second Encounter, Sim City 3000 Unlimited, Sacred: Gold Edition, and more.

I still have most of my game discs, too. Some are Windows versions with binaries released after the fact, some are ports published specifically for Linux (usually by Loki or LGP), and some had the binaries on the disc alongside the Windows version.

The Sims was also available for Linux, ever so briefly, thanks to Transgaming's "WineX technology" (later renamed to "Cedega" ). They even bundled it with Mandrake Gaming Edition... Nobody remembers this shit but me?

Quoting: chancho_zombiehey guys. Where does proton creates the bottles? I need to recreate the bottle to try without installing some dotnet cruft.
I guess all the games are 600mb fatter (that's what wine bottles take for system files)

According to my system Proton is 1.7Gb & the compdata folders for each game are 44Mb, instead of having a separate Wine bottle for each game they have one wine install that all games link to. Much better than a separate bottle for each game.
