    Basic Windows 95-era GUIs made with standard Windows APIs still look broken.

      Proton is Wine with dipping sauces and gaming stuff. When it comes to running Windows Programs they’ll run basically the same things.

        Not necessarily.

        I’ve had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton.

        It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn’t save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine.

        My point is it’s very rare but it can happen.

          Good point.

          Ironically … i’ve played exactly the same game in Proton on Steamdeck (I’m assuming that’s using Proton; i did not check TBH) just few weeks ago and it all worked just fine. Maybe they fixed it in the meantime or it depends…

          (But yeah your point stands.)
