Valve invested time and money in Wine and DXVK. Claiming Valve is not trying to figure out how to run games on Linux because they’re contributing to a project instead of creating a new one from the ground up, then only Linus contributes to the kernel?
Sometimes you need a few developers getting paid full time to truly get a project like DXVK off the ground. Some of the biggest open source projects wouldn’t even exist without the time and money from companies that actively support it.

No it isn’t, I didn’t claim it was, and Valve is doing a good bit more than mere pre-configuration.
Valve is contributing efforts to improve Wine, DXVK, VK3D, shader-cache management, and making their use simple and easy.
If I figure out how to use Bottles, then in a literary sense it is completely correct to say: I figured out how to run windows software on Linux.
The sentence doesn’t suddenly become false if I didn’t write every line of code, from kernel to compatibility layer, that my PC is executing to do it.
DXVK is sooo good now I install it for half my games on my Windows machine just for the performance gains
