minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year ago Most likely not, most malware still exclusively target Windows Always wondered how the internals of Proton works, as far as what part of the Linux OS does it expose to its internal Windows sandbox. Thanks for the reply/thoughts.

minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year ago you’ve set it up otherwise manually No I don’t. For Steam games I just let Steam do the install/setup. For non-Steam games I use Bottles, and I use a different Bottles container/session for each game.
