Great news, no more headache with 32bit libraries. Now we need wayland support to get rid of xwayland and anything xorg as well.

    I assume we'll still need the 32 bit libraries to play 32 bit games, which at this point is probably just older games that will never be updated. I guess it depends on what you like to play, but I'll be stuck with them for some time yet.

    I always thought that whatever games need is containerized in proton, but that for windows games. For old linux games i think repackaging them as flatpaks is an option.
