      I’m going to assume that you do not mean Deep Rock Galactic with that acronym because that has worked out of the box since day one I play it regularly with friends on the steam deck and on my Linux desktop and the only thing I had to do was click play in Steam.

      Can’t help you with your emulators, I used dolphin to play dokepone Kingdom regularly over VPN without any issues didn’t have to do anything special either so that one just sounds like a skill issue

          It’s not as if I can be actually helpful, you’ve given people nothing to go on other than it didn’t work for me. But seeing as literally everyone’s experiences that it works out of the box on any piece of Hardware they’ve ever touched the only thing that can tell me is that something is horrendously broken with your Linux installation. What could that be? I have no way to know, but it’s obvious that something is not even remotely how it should be the only advice I could give is to completely reinstall your Linux from scratch. Which is the same advice I would give to a Windows user facing a similar problem of something that should just work right out of the box and does for literally everybody except them

      If you don’t have previous experience with Linux, there will be a learning curve, but depending on your hardware, it may be gentle or steeper. Likewise, your choice of distro may matter a lot, at least at first.

      But you should take ProtonDB ratings as a good indicator that “might just be my hardware” is correct, at least for DRG. It also works out of the box for me on both my main rig (=currently running Pop) and the Steam Deck.
