Most games already do run with little or no problems. I recommend looking up games you are interested in on https://protondb.com https://protondb.com to see how well you can expect them to run with Proton.
- ddtaylor 5y agoProtonDB is really cool and I have been a big supporter (and contributor) over the last few years. The problem (and what you'll see if you look closer at the database) is that we have this giant elephant in the room in the Linux community named Nvidia. What works for an Intel/AMD GPU user may not work for an Nvidia user and the level of bugs associated with Nvidia on Linux is obscene. It sucks, and yeah, just buy AMD cards, but the reality is that Nvidia dominates the GPU space right now significantly and their cards seem to be a few generates ahead of AMD still. Just a while ago for a CTF we implemented some hash breaking algorithms in OpenCL and CUDA and members of our team ran them on their own hardware. Firstly, we did it in Windows despite otherwise doing everything in Linux because the OpenCL/CUDA support and speed was leaps and bounds ahead on Windows. Next we compared the performance of hashes per second and it was orders of magnitude worse on AMD cards. We tweaked the algorithm a bit here and there to favor the AMD card and saw some minor gains, but overall we're talking a difference of 15/s versus 200/s in terms of how many hashes it was breaking per second.
