[Request and Suggestion] Linux+Proton support
By version 250 this needs to be officially addressed, and shouldn't be ignored by the GMS localization team, the KMS developers, and the Nexon Corp leadership.
Will the kernelspace anticheat system that Nexon uses be patched to support the win32api layer that is Valve's Proton? We know already MapleStory can install under Wine or Proton using Steam client but the anticheat refuses to let the game operate. While anyone can make the excuse "but cheaters..." or "nobody plays games on Linux..." these are completely moot points with no basis in reality. Cheaters still cheat, and hackers still hack. Switching the anticheat from kernelspace to userspace isn't going to do anything significant other than add a platform for gameplay only. This has been proven with other games enabling support for Proton/Wine. SteamDeck is becoming a viable gaming alternative platform to many people and supporting a growing platform helps everyone.
Supporting Linux and Proton also invites the aspect of more players, and more players purchasing Nx, and more Nx being spent giving Nexon a new income source, small as it may be at first, but a small source that can grow.
This needs to be addressed by the Nexon Corp leadership, developers, and everyone else who has some type of say in the direction of KMS and GMS since they're pretty much in lockstep.
