Introduction
On August 21, 2018, Valve announced a new version of Steam Play for Linux gamers called Proton. This feature is a fork of Wine, a compatibility layer that allows Windows applications to be run on Linux operating systems. In addition, it runs on the DXVK and VKD3D wrappers which translates DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, respectively, to Vulkan.
