"Proton is Steam client only and thus it's not ideal for general use or for the long-term."

Proton is not Steam only or did i miss here something, you can use proton without steam, but most of the time it doesn't make sense to do so, because wine + dxvk,...... does the same.
And who said that others are not allowed to use proton in there projects, i couldn't find anything which says only steam is allowed to use proton. But maybe i am totally wrong here :)

Some interesting stuff :)

From Jeremy White at Codeweavers:
"Yesterday, Valve announced a new feature in Steam Play that allows Windows titles to run on the Linux version of Steam using Wine.

We have been working directly with Valve for two years on this effort, and the launch yesterday was one of the most joyful days of my career, for a variety of reasons. First, the personal – my sons both grew up using Linux. My older son graduated from college, got a job, and eventually bought a Windows PC so he could play his favorite games. My younger son is still in college, and he remains a die hard Linux user. Last night, he was able to install and run the few Windows games he craved on his Linux laptop.

Second, the professional – I have long felt that computer games are the key to any successful computer operating system. Sure, you absolutely need to be able to do productive work on your computer, but your heart is not in it until you can play. Without that joy, Linux, and the variety of Linux based operating systems (e.g. SteamOS, ChromeOS) are going to struggle to claim a meaningful share of the market. Valve has been providing amazing support for gaming on Linux for many years now, and we are proud to join them in expanding the range of high quality games that are available to Linux users.

This still remains a long, hard journey, but perhaps this marks the beginning of the mythical Year Of The Linux Desktop.

I hope that Proton brings you as much joy as it has brought me. And now excuse me, I have some, er, testing, to do..."

Oh and i think this would be a good news to get posted :)
