Actually it is 100% that simple, proton has fixed gaming on Linux.
It doesn’t work for a few rare games that install a rootkit on your Windows PC, but that’s already silly and irresponsible of you to allow a game to do anyway, in my opinion.
Nearly all the games i play run worse on linux than windows. Counterstrike, the finals, vrising. Im sure at least one of them dont have rootkit installed. Even got glorious egg proton profiles and still no luck.
I used to agree with this statement, but I’m no longer that sure.
I built a new PC a week ago, installed windows first then Linux. The idea was that I needed Windows for gaming.
Thought I’d try proton + Steam, regardless, just to see how it stacks up.
No performance difference. HDR works through gamescope. The window manager of the DE isn’t insane and I can alt tab around my OS without problem.
Pretty good stuff. Still have windows for work and Valorant, but otherwise I play all my games on Linux these days. The only part that’s lacking, in my opinion, is hot plugging controllers. Annoying that that doesn’t work.
not that easy if you play games unfortunately

Counterstrike 2 is native to Linux, doesn’t use proton so should have 0 preforman impact
