Proton is a compatibility layer designed to enable the execution of Windows-based software on non-Windows operating systems. It functions as a controlled runtime environment that maps proprietary system calls to native kernel functions and translates graphics API commands into open-standard compute shaders. This allows applications to run without requiring modifications to their original source code. The project distinguishes itself through a robust toolchain for reproducible builds, which utilizes containerized isolation to ensure consistent binary outputs across different development enviro
