I am buying a friend’s PC for games. I want to avoid windows if at all possible, and I’m wondering what people’s experience using Proton in Linux for gaming has been. Are there certain publishers who use libraries Proton doesn’t handle well? Are there distros to avoid using with proton? Any other notes I should be aware of?
Proton is awesome! I have two games out of my ~100 game library that simply don’t work at all. Every other game either works out of the box, or works with a little bit of tinkering. Of the two that don’t work, one is because of anti cheat software, and the other I don’t know why (Space Engineers, just doesn’t work).
Strange, I've had little problems with Space Engineers and protondb mostly seems to agree.
Hmm. It might have been my friend’s server setup. He uses addons.
