  What am I looking at? What are the colors?

    Yeah, sorry.

    Medals are probably the best metric. Besides red for broken, they go

    • bronze for barely playable with lots of tinkering
    • silver for playable with tinkering
    • gold for working great with some tinkering
    • platinum for works out of the box with no tinkering

    And above that “native”, which I think is not included in the charts. Even native games you can still opt to play through proton though. I had better performance playing Slay the Spire and Project Zomboid on older gfx with Proton than native for example.

  as far as i can tell this only accounts for games on steam, which means massive games like fortnite, valorant, league of legends and genshin impact are excluded. also for some reason apex legends is rated as silver on protondb despite very much not working on linux? so i guess at least one of the silvers in the top 10 chart should be downgraded to not working

    This is true. For EAC specific issues there is areweanticheatyet.com

    Apex Legends is silver because it had 3k+ positive reviews before, but about a year ago EA decided to flip the switch on Linux within EAC. Likely to fuck with steam deck, or maybe to do some handwaving of dealing with cheaters.

  So 60% for top 10?
