Looking forward to 9.2! I'm eagerly awaiting the fix for the Webview2 installer

Great question. It is based on Wine 9 and so, I expect, it has experimental Wayland support that is not enabled by default.

Every time I see the notes for a proton update I thing "what even are half of these games" and find myself amazed that they actually fix all these obscure bugs.

Does it come with a native Wayland support, or is it still X only?
mactan@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y
I have heard it was "disabled" but the comment wasn't substantiated. enabling Wayland on regular wine 9 is no more than a registry edit and an env variable

Do the version numbers for proton imply anything serious? Or is it like the kernel version numbers. I never quite understand, they seem to be really active, but maybe having Ubuntu style numbers would make more sense here?

It implies that it's based on WINE 9.0 and its feature/bug set.
fossphi@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
Fair enough. I mistyped, I meant to ask about wine versions!

I don't think that is any related to linux.

Not kernel, not coreutils nor busybox, not nonportable linux utilities, not even a new distro for script kiddies.
On this community kernel features and discussion aren't even posted (much)
