Compatibility-layer Memes

Nothing says "I'm marriage material" quite like dropping Proton in casual conversation. While normal people discuss their favorite wines, Linux gamers are out here flexing their compatibility layers like it's a personality trait. Proton is Valve's tool that lets you run Windows games on Linux through Steam, and apparently it's also the perfect icebreaker for those romantic evenings where you need to establish dominance by mentioning your operating system preferences. The real tragedy here is that this probably works better than you'd think in certain circles. Someone out there is absolutely swooning over this line, mentally calculating the compatibility percentage based on desktop environment preferences.
