compared to using no sync at all*
ntsync is still a good performance booster, but we had esync and fsync before it that were almost just as fast.
the headline is a little misleading because it exaggerates it, still good news though.
Why does this headline read like an overstated CV achievement?
Because XDA is an Android forum attached to a blogspam site.
Basic Windows 95-era GUIs made with standard Windows APIs still look broken.
If it is about looks, it is possible to install themes.
How does this compare to valve’s proton for running Windows programs?
Proton is Wine with dipping sauces and gaming stuff. When it comes to running Windows Programs they’ll run basically the same things.
Not necessarily.
I’ve had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton.
It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn’t save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine.
My point is it’s very rare but it can happen.
Proton is still wine with extra sauce. It’s just that occasionally the sauce tastes bad :)
Could be that Proton is just a few Wine releases behind, or their customization and extras break a few things unintentionally.
proton is based on the once a year “stable” releases and only brings in bits and pieces for specific games otherwise
Good point.
Ironically … i’ve played exactly the same game in Proton on Steamdeck (I’m assuming that’s using Proton; i did not check TBH) just few weeks ago and it all worked just fine. Maybe they fixed it in the meantime or it depends…
(But yeah your point stands.)
