But muh POSIX

I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.

Wrote them 10 years ago and they've worked flawlessly ever since!

Compared to almost all other distros, Arch is advanced in the way that it's the simplest of them all. Nothing except the very basics are set up for you, so it's tough to start with.

Proton is just Valve's fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.

Wine isn't meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It's just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.

Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.

Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.

If that's what they want, they chose the wrong distro.

I used to just check WineHQ and if it has Gold or above, you can definitely make it run

Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It's been discounted down to like 3€ a few times

It's not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn't get hooked. With BG3 however, I'm at 60 hours and I can't put it down

It takes 5 minutes to install Arch manually so why even bother using scripts?

In that case I think it's mostly fine

It's legal to spy on your employees in USA?

I'm beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren't completely baseless..
