> Wine had awful direct x translation

That's not fair. Vulkan didn't exist when the original Steam Machines launched. Wine's Direct3D implementation also had different goals than the DXVK project, such as supporting macOS, older hardware, and non-gaming DirectX uses.

It doesn't matter what's fair. It's whether it worked or not that counts. It didn't, now it does. That's an awesome positive step.
I don't think it's good to be rude about other peoples' work without a really good reason :)
Sure, but GP's claim was that the statement "Notably the Steam Machines didn't have any equivalent to Proton" is false.
