No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I mean literally yes, but, it could not exist in any meaningful way without Proton.

Thats why I say its really built around Proton, they started with Proton and then said 'how do we make an OS that will work with/around this' and landed on Arch.

The whole point of it is: Be a functional, efficient, fast, Linux OS that primarily plays video games.

Thats impossible without Proton.
