Say, you downloaded a pirated game that happened to be malicious, and you run it on linux using compatibility layers like WINE/Proton, does your linux installation get infected?

    Proton is Wine.

    Plus some other stuff like DXVK (which is available in vanilla Wine as well). But the heavy lifting is done by Wine.

      I meant the intro you said wine is gaming focused that’s not true proton which is a wine fork focuses on the gaming part, they are not the same wine is for general apps and proton is gaming focused
