Experimenting with the Proton compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components for use with running Nintendo Switch games better on suyu and, as well as to test implementing in suyuOS more generally so it can become the ultimate gaming OS.

Proton is a tool for use with the Steam for Linux client which allows games
which are exclusive to Windows to run on Linux operating systems. It uses Wine
to facilitate this.
To build Proton, set up a Debian machine with the Steam chroots as documented
in the Steam Runtime repository:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime
You should then be able to build Proton using the "build_proton.sh" script.
Some package installation will be necessary, for example the mingw-w64 cross
compiler will be needed, as well as various runtime libraries such as Vulkan.
Examine the output near the end of build/wine.win{64,32}/config.log to ensure
you have all of the relevant libraries installed in each chroot.
TODO: Better document setting up the build machine.
Once built, the dist/ directory will contain the files which can be distributed
through Steam. For testing purposes, you should be able to clear out the files
in your steamapps/common/Proton directory and replace them with the contents of
dist/. The proton script will unpack the files on first run.
NOTE: For now, dxvk requires build-time components that are too new for Debian
9. It's recommended to build the DLLs on Arch Linux, where dxvk is actively
being developed. This may be resolved in dxvk in the future, or may be worked
around by using a newer Debian release. See comments in build_proton.sh.
