Written, you could get a vague sense of what’s being said. Spoken, the two languages are absolutely not intelligible. You might pick up a couple of words that are close enough but definitely not enough to have anything close to a conversation.

Portuguese and Spanish are much closer in terms of intelligibility.

Proton is a translation layer that uses Wine and other tricks to allow you to run Windows games on Linux. It’s a Valve project that is making a ton of progress on compatibility. It’s a huge part of the success of the Steam Deck.

Except this is for a single country. Is it worth that kind of expense for 5 million people? Does Facebook make $36.5 million in profit just in Norway? If not, then this is a net loss for them.
