    Yeah proton works really well for me for the vast majority of my games but there are a few that don’t. I dual boot solely to play those.

    • Star Citizen - much worse performance for me using Linux.
    • Cyberpunk - Used to work fine but started crashing on Linux for me
    • Counter Strike 2 - Audio cuts out after about 15 - 20 minutes on Linux.
    • Supreme Commander - Frequent crashes on Linux.

    I think people can run most of those fine but I haven’t had luck and don’t spend much time tinkering.

      Cyberpunk works great on Proton 7. I was playing it last night. It crashes on updated/experimental Proton but by forcing compatibility to Proton 7.0-6 I played for about 4 hours with no issues.

        How dramatic.

        EDIT: In the dramatic spirit though.

        It’s too late for me, friend. The trap was baited with the frivolous and delightful outputs of an unethical capitalist machine and I was ensnared. I am now doomed to forever carry out a small percentage of my computing tasks in the glass cage of OS lock in and corporate surveillance. It’s not too late for others, though, you can still save yourself. Leave me to my fate, my only solace is that my experience may be a lesson to others.

          Na it’s not to late, just try different games and experience new OS. After a while your thirst for playing specific games simply goes away and you will feel as much comfortable playing games on linux.
