Imho, linking to GitLab (source) is the best way to share on Lemmy. I see news about the Wine 10 release all day, and these are not shown as crossposts due to different links. Here are some other crossposts:

🤩hope I can play cyberpunk in wayland now

Huh I've been playing Cyberpunk in wayland all along. Hope you get to play too and that the issue wasn't something else!
-
Maybe it is just too much time since I last played or with proton on wayland, it just takes that bit more power, so that my good ol 980 isn’t handeling it well 🤔

I really hope Proton 10 will have some sort of Wayland support, even if it would be hidden behind an environmental variable
We also need a native Wayland client for Steam, though it's tied to Chromium Embedded Framework's native Wayland support. Probably it will come with Electron's support. No idea when.
Could you elaborate on the advantages, I'm using wayland and steam for games, no issues so far.
HDR support
It'll be more performant, lower latency, have proper HDR support (current method is a hack), scale properly based on your displays, and probably be generally less buggy long-term (probably more buggy when it first gets added since it's a pretty fundamental change).
You're currently using a compatibility layer called xwayland to run it, which adds a ton of cruft.
Fractional scaling
I really hope Proton would stop running a container. It makes running additional programs harder (opentrack for example) and our computers less ours
No way. Containers are absolutely necessary to provide reliability across a wide range of distros and to keep games working in the future.
Then we need better tooling and documentation to interact with the container, not to get rid of them. I don't see any technical limitation that would prevent your use case. It's just not implemented or maybe simply undocumented.
How so? The end result is probably the opposite. Without the containers Steam would be less reliable on unsupported distros, which might mean your only choice would be to use Ubuntu LTS. That would be a much bigger loss of control.
Containers are good for a number of reasons, and definitely will not and should not be going away, instead use one of these tools to bypass it:

Does it? What containerization does it use? I thought it was similar to wine, just a process pointed at a windows exe, and an environment to make the app think it's running in a windows filesystem.
