For me default proton “just works” usually. But I play a lot of indie games

I keep hearing and seeing from seemingly everyone that Linux gaming is better basically every month, how it keeps improving and stuff (like the article here)
But for me personally it never did in the last 5 years, whenever I try to step out if emulation and back to windows exlusove games? Its like 5 bullet Russian roulette, if it works at all and doesn’t stop working for inexlicitly no reason
What are yall doing to actually make things work somewhat reasonable (default lutris, proton, or ge has never even renowtly worked how well for me, at all)

The only issues left with Windows-Only games is their crippeling-for-purpose anti-cheat code. Anything else works better on Linux.
So the question is whether to support those BDSM anti-cheat games, or get a better gaming experience.

Modern Linux kernel and steam with proton, and in a few instances lutris with wine. Unless it has anticheet, it’ll play pretty well.
Mandy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
what black magic are you using to make them work

AMD 7600x and 6700xt, Debian 12… proton, wine, keyboard and mouse? Been using it no problem with cyberpunk and Starfield for a few months now. Play Diablo 4 and overwatch with my kids. Been gaming on Linux for almost 4 years now. It HAS come a very very long way since the steamdeck was launched though. Proton and lutris are the glue that hold it all together.

idk what kinda glue you are thinking about, but it aint the one im seeing gtx 1660 super here and distro agnostic for me, same problems all around
cyberpunk, a slideshow at best, tried several times and several configs diablo 4 (got it from a friend), never launched, cause battlnet never works
