  • Part of that is Linux doesn’t really have backwards compatibility as I understand it. When you update and some libraries get updated, the old versions are just… gone. So any application that relied on those will no longer function until it’s also updated.

    You also generally can’t even install the old version of the libraries, because the name is the same across versions so having multiple versions installed isn’t possible.

    Windows does have really good backwards compatibility, which carries over to proton since it’s mimicking windows APIs and libraries.
