    Linux via Proton is effectively an emulation or translation layer,

    Akshually, wine is not an emulator!

    I’ll see myself out.

      Mmn yeah. I described it as a translation layer also, which is more accutate, but I used The Bad Word because more people have an understanding of what an ‘emulator’ is in common usage and it felt appropriate in this context.

        And… Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, too.
