I've had a similar experience. I would love to stop using Windows but I have found that ProtonDB wildly exagerrates the compatibility of games. I had game breaking issues with 50% or more of "gold" rated titles and even some with a "platinum" rating.
- dkdbejwi383 5y agoProtonDB is driven by reports/feedback from individual users, right? Did you submit your experience so that the ratings are more accurate?
- boopmaster 5y agoTo draw a parallel: message boards are 99% observation and 1% participation. There’s no need to goad your fellow HN readers.
- gpderetta 5y agoProtonDB tells you that someone, somewhere at some point managed to get it working. It doesn't directly help you, but knowing it can be done can be an incentive to experiment instead of giving up.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThat's unfortunately not unexpected. "Linux Desktop" is a ludicrously diverse not-platform for which Valve already has to bring its own runtime of basic libraries along just to ensure some minimum level of compatibility even for native Linux games.
