Yes, but I mean... Having Proton added to the repos of your distro, and being able to use it as you would use regular Wine. Because right now, it looks like you really need Steam to use Proton.

Edit: in response to ekianjo below, I can't reply: Thank you, I wasn't aware of that. I thought it was coupled with Steam tightly. I have even found a Gentoo overlay with a Proton ebuild. I'll give it a spin; I'm not a huge fan of the Linux desktop but I'm tired of Windows 10 chapping my hide with its endless stream of background processes consuming the resources of my computer while I'm trying to do something else.

I am looking forward to a standalone version of Proton that I can run without having to use Steam. First, most of my games are pirated, and second, Steam is slow and clunky and I avoid using it whenever I can, even on Windows.

On the flipside, many of the games I run are from the DX9 era, and I've been using wine-d3d9[] with a high degree of success.

My guess: scrolling a checkerbox pattern requires turning on and off the rgb components of the pixels at a high speed. The blue components are the slowest so they linger for longer.

I know my comment will be deemed unsubstantive but I have to say: as a man I felt identified in that text, all women I've been with were like that. That's why the idea of consent feels so alien to me: it goes against my very experience with the (different) women I've been with.
