@bamboombibbitybop Native Linux means it was built for Linux, whereas with Proton it just runs the Windows version through Proton  @gamingonlinux right. Doesn't the compatibility layer come with some performance overhead? @bamboombibbitybop It can do, sometimes it's basically none and often can run games better than a native build like in this case as the developer said @gamingonlinux Am I the only one who thinks that this is pretty embarrassing for Unity? @gamingonlinux well, in the end I only care about being able to play games decently well on linux. I'd rather get a proton version instead of a not tested, never updates native linux version. Guess I'm just pragmatic like that. |
@gamingonlinux So if I understand correctly, native Linux means a version that just runs on Linux as-is with dependencies, whereas a proton version is just making sure their Windows version runs well with proton? Isn't the first preferable?
