Comment on Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 week agoLemmy is a more technical crowd, but many deck owners don’t understand what proton is, or why they might need different versions.

The article has one sentence on using older versions for better comparability with some games.
The rest of the article is basically summed up by “bigger number means newer”
The whole article seemed very surface level and didn’t really give any more info than could be derived from the names of the versions. As for the community forks mentioned people could find much better info just looking at the readme.
Maybe I’m just too technical but it just feels to me as pointless as an article explaining the difference between hot and cold taps on a sink.

I agree with you on this point completely. The article is pretty garbage. But that’s not what your original comment seemed to imply. It seemed like you were saying everyone should know this stuff so why should any article exist on the subject.
I think that’s why everyone is so worked up.
