I last developed for windows in the late 90s.
I came back around 2017*, expecting the same nice experience I had with VB3 to 6.
What a punch in the face it was...
I honestly cannot fathom anyone developing natively for windows (or even OSX) at this day and age.
Anything will be a webapp or a rust+egui multi-plataform developed on linux, or nothing. It's already enough the amount of self-hate required for android/ios.
* not sure the exact date. It was right in the middle of the WPF crap being forced as "the new default".*
And yet without Proton there are no Linux games.
what that have to do with anything?
does proton make current vb development as straight forward as it was on vb6?
Proton allows Linux users to enjoy Windows games, developed on Windows, with Visual Studio and DirectX.
