It's been many years since I used wine on its own outside of proton. Is the experience mostly the same? As I understood, proton included slightly newer patches and tools to make games run better, did this stuff mostly make it back upstream?
Has anyone attempted running windows games on an Apple Silicon mac yet? How well does that work? I seem to remember 32 bit support being an issue previously.
Not for games specifically, but there is a derivative "wine-crossover" that runs 32 bit applications fine on M1, and generally seems to work pretty well (for esoteric scientific instrument software at least, nothing with fancy graphics).
