Has it really been that long? Apparently so. Valve originally announced their rebranding of Steam Play with Proton back on August 21st, 2018. Seems like a good time for a quick reflection being halfway to a decade old now with the tech that gave rise to the Steam Deck.
Been using Mint exclusively on my gaming rig for over a year, and I haven’t looked back. I mostly play small indie games, so nothing taxing, but even so Proton has been a godsend.
Actually it’s probably been longer than a year. I have Windows dual booted on that machine but I never upgraded it past 7. Oh well.
