From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly, in some cases, proton is faster than native windows games. Microslop even said they're going to try to make windows faster than proton again.
proton is faster than games directly on winblows>
Thats good news, cause Linux is my OS choice.
It is more or less the same. There are countless comparisons and Linux usually wins by a small margin but not always.
