Felix86: Run x86-64 programs on RISC-V Linux
This is good. Maybe it means some day we'll able to run Steam on it. Wouldn't that be funny? Windows emulation on x86-64 emulation on RISC-V.

I am hopeful valve will release a risc-v build themselves.
And wine/proton will integrate with this or some similar solution for running x86 binaries.

They can't. The games themselves are compiled for x86-64 and closed source. It's not enough if they just recompiled Steam, Proton, etc.

It seems as if there are unofficial(?) Steam ports to Arm which presumably run the x86-64 binaries in emulation, so that would be a similar sort of thing.
