    The state of Linux gaming through Proton is only getting better as time goes by. Just a few months ago Valve released Proton 6.3-7, and with it came a few more playable titles and bug fixes. Today, Valve has officially rolled out the Proton 6.3-8 release, and its even juicier, jam-packed than before. Heres the entire list of games now playable on Linux through this compatibility layer: [...]

[13:08] schestowitz "What the data suggests is that none of the important patent owners seems to focus on bringing tobacco harm reduction technologies to developing countries. The data rather proposes that their principal focus remains developed countries and not developing countries, for the time being.

Even though this was not the subject of my article, I do not believe that such an industry is likely to emerge in the near future in the tobacco harm reduction space.
