All I want from Proton is for patches to trickle back to upstream Wine so everybody can benefit even if they don't use Proton directly.

Same here! It's funny how Valve is the one making life without Steam easier for me, but not unwelcome at all

wine-staging should get you covered.

I've been contemplating ditching Wine entirely and just use Proton.

You are partially right. wine-staging was awesome thing years ago
for gaming. Now it's usually
has more compatibility problems with games and sometimes is even behind regular wine.

For games, might as well. You'll probably have a better experience (I do). I use proton-ge-custom (technically this one).

How is that when staging is a patchset that is applied on top of latest Wine commits?
But yeah, you need another patchset flavor like tkg on top of staging to fix/revert shiptons of regressions and get more Proton fixes sooner (or at all). Sticking with Lutris or GE builds has become more appealing, though it's always good to know how to loosen some knots by yourself.

And they can't pull them them self? Wine is under LGPL so there is no way around it.

Michael write about it that patches are going back to wine https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...ck-In-Wine-4.2

And if its no longer happen, why? valve is not known to do that because maintain all patches them self is a lot of work in the long run.

Another point is that valve works with crossover on the wine base for proton, they write many stuff of that, why did they not summit the patches to wine?

I don't know if Valve submits patches back to the Wine project, nor do I know how much of the improvements by Proton gets brought back to Wine, I just hope it's a lot. Proton is probably great, but many people use Wine, so it would be good if patches trickled back to Wine so it can benefit too.
