That's why Proton is in continuous development. When it's broken it's usually a matter of days or weeks before it's fixed. If the dev is going to ban you for the offense of using a compatibility layer then that's grounds for a refund (at least on Steam).
I like Proton and have nothing against it, but you are not really selling "continuous development" very well.
Proper and tested releases are often better for stability.
I don't understand how that contradicts what I said.
Does it need to contradict?
I just meant that it's funny that you said that it's a good thing that they use rolling releases because it occasionally breaks and they can fix it in a few days or so.
Usually rolling releases are good for continuous improvements, but not for you ,🤷
