"switching over Linux support to Proton"

Yeah... Not so much a fan of this. It might be easier but it's not the intended route.

@pieceofthepie if it works and works well, it makes no difference for players, only zealots demand native

@gamingonlinux @pieceofthepie Agreed.

I definitely want something that is supported well and targets the latest native libraries (even via API translations) instead of a not-well-supported build that statically links old libraries (and even older graphics libraries, like SDL1.x instead of SDL2.x, OpenGL instead of Vulkan), has input issues (lack of gamepad, odd mouse support), and doesn't necessarily work across different distributions.

(Former is Proton; latter is a typical "native port".)
