IME, it’s more a mixed bag. Some games run great on Linux or within Proton. Others seem to be more Steam Deck focused and as such, require more fiddling to get it to work.
- Scramblejams 2y agoIf you’re using Nvidia you’re definitely going to have a harder time. AMD GPUs are the path of least resistance. Edit: Also, avoid the Steam flatpak if you want maximum compatibility, sometimes it has issues. I stick with the official .deb package.

- Scramblejams 2y agoSorry, which one does your PC have? But yeah, the Nvidia situation is a bummer. Hopefully NVK will do for Nvidia users what the open source amdgpu driver did for AMD users.

- rounce 2y agoHave you tried the GE fork? I’ve found some things just won’t work with vanilla proton with my Nvidia card. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom
- stackskipton 2y agoI'm done. I hate Windows 11 but my PC works with it installed so I'll just deal with Windows 11 minor bullshit vs fighting Proton and Nvidia.
- dingnuts 2y agocare to share any examples? your experience is the opposite of mine. I've been using the steam deck status as a shorthand for Linux support for a little while and if anything I've gotten a few games running that aren't supported, not the other way around. I have an AMD card though, because I always check Linux compatibility before buying hardware..
