Hopefully sometime next month or perhaps the month after we might see Proton 10 released, to bring even more improvements for gaming on Linux platforms.

Can someone update me on the status of the WineWoW64? Haven't heard about that in a while now...

In my case use new wow64 and many apps work however some dont work
However 32bit dependencies hell are gone with new wow64, only need 64bit development dependencies for build biarch wine:
./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64

Nice, congrats on clipboard support especially! I was waiting for that one for a long time.
I've been building it without 32-bit deps like that for a while already, so it doesn't look like this changed recently?

Recent builds of Wine ship this feature together with old Wow64. You can force the new mode at runtime with
WINEARCH=wow64But it's not the default yet.
Features wise, the only major issue are 32-bit OpenGL scenarios. OpenGL is still missing some extensions that are required to allow decent performance.
That affects for example old DX7 games which have to go through wined3d and therefore through OpenGL. So for those games, 32-bit proper is still needed.
I asked Wine developers if anyone is working on such OpenGL extension, but no one responded. I assume not many really care about those games to prioritize that.

For DX9 games, the only solution is to use DXVK.

For now thanks to dxvk directx 8-9-10-11 games in most cases works (wined3d normally have a very low performance compared dxvk)
However dx7 and lower still cursed for opengl32 situation in new wow64 (working extension could improve but as other said seems dont show activity)
Sadly alpinedreams dont show activity on this:

I was just wishing I could copy paste stuff from clipboard the other day. Now if they can fix the DPI/Mouse Input/DLSS issues then we be set. Also I wonder if they can support autoHDR which atm only Gamescope supports AFAIK.

If anyone want to know about opengl situation, gl proposed extension is this:
