Ask Valve how it is going with their plans to drop Proton.

Proton is the shim for backwards compatibility with a messy legacy system. We've all been there.

And we've also seen how legacy systems refuse to die :(

What do we call 1970's OS design in 2026?

I have an idea, from someone famous in hacker circles,

"Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy"

-- Rob Pike

that's like asking linux to drop posix :D

Source?

What source? It is quite obvious without Proton there are no games for SteamOS.

pretty sure it was meant sarcastically
