“Now if the article would only tell us exactly what “Proton” is. They should have done that right off the bat. The article goes on with a few hints, but no actual definition.”
Know what? That is on me, that is my fault. I should have also shared what Proton does. Steam is a gaming platform and they use a converter called Proton that allows Windows games to be played on a Linux System. It mentions “Wine” because wine is a similar app that does the same style of converting. Sorry about that. :)

Thanks. I knew what steam was but not proton. That is all I needed to know.
