"Proton is a compatibility layer for Windows games to run on Linux-based operating systems."
"It is a collection of software and libraries combined with a patched version of Wine to improve performance and compatibility with Windows games"
Wine (software): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)
"Wine is a free and open-source compatibility layer to allow application software and computer games developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Developers can compile Windows applications against WineLib to help port them to Unix-like systems. Wine is predominantly written using black-box testing reverse-engineering, to avoid copyright issues. No code emulation or virtualization occurs. Wine is primarily developed for Linux and macOS."
"Winecfg makes configuring Wine easier by making it unnecessary to edit the registry directly, although, if needed, this can be done with the included registry editor (similar to Windows regedit)."
