It has been 7 years since Valve revealed Proton, their compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux systems. What an incredible time it has been.

    7 years feels like it’s too long, but then again 1999 was only 10 years ago too. lol

              Not a boomer, but was in Uni in '99. The '99/00 new year was a wild time because everyone waited to see if something had its update missed that would cause mass chaos.

              In the end nothing of consequence happened.

                There was a lot of work done behind the scenes to make sure that all those systems still worked. Probably too much, but it did work.
