  • To expand on the translation metaphor:

    Trying to run a window program on Linux (without proton) is like trying to read a completely alien text. Your have basically 0 in common and no way to understand it

    Proton is doing the translator job of helping. And it’s doing a great job for a lot of the alien language. Which is why so many programs and games work on Linux with proton

    But even it can’t always be perfect, and if the language is using some weird dialect, it might not understand or misinterpret things, which causes games to be buggy or unplayable on Linux









  • Oh they very much can.

    When I was a kid, ours opened the doors by jumping at the door handles. Grabbing them and pulling them down.

    They even taught their kittens

    We had to install all handles so they pointed upwards, just so the cats couldn’t grab them

    But even that only lasted a couple months until they learned to latch onto them anyway and wiggle around until their weight pulled the handle to the side and opened the door

    Clever fluffy bastards
