Valve's Proton 8.0 enhances Linux gaming experience.
Valve has released Proton 8.0, the latest version of their Windows translation layer for Steam Deck and Linux desktop, which runs some of the most popular Windows games. The latest stable version includes bug fixes and improvements, and eventually, the majority of Windows games will move over to use it. Proton Experimental will also see an update this week. Users can select Proton 8 in the Properties -> Compatibility menu of any game or search for "Proton 8" directly in their Steam Library to install it manually.
