Comment on Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices

A part of me does hope that they’ll hold off and release riscv products instead (headset and deck). I know box64 can already translate to riscv and I remember reading that FEX was working on it (android is also getting riscv support so waydroid should too?). Given their focus on linux it has to be on their radar

In the shorter-term the issue is the lack of sufficiently powerful commercially-available RISC-V hardware for the level of gaming people expect out of a Steam Deck or VR headset, which ARM already has a number of SOCs capable of.
I don’t doubt that the work will continue but Valve isn’t likely to pour time or money into it until they think the hardware is there.
