CC-ing debian-wine@ Hello debian-wine! I have just sent a mail to debian-games@ about the possibility of packaging Proton[1] for Debian. I wanted to know if you were interested in getting involved, of if you had already spent some time evaluating it? I am also interested in getting DXVK in Debian. That would be the first step since Proton depends on it. If we can't get Proton in Debian, DXVK + Wine is also a great step forward for folks that play video games on Debian. Lutris already ships some scripts that use Wine and DXVK (without Proton) to play games and they are getting great results.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got Proton to work without the wine fork, compromising on some of the features. > It also seems to build-depend on a docker container, that would need > to be replaced with proper build dependencies. It dosen't really need that docker container. They involve Docker in their build system to ensure that the builds are done the right versions of the right libraries, and they also include proprietary steam runtime libraries that are not needed for a vanilla Proton build.

At configure-time, pass the --no- > steam-runtime flag instead of the Docker flags shown here.
