    Proton is steam’s compatibility tool, these “medals” basically indicate how well a game works through it. Platnium and gold mean work without troubleshooting. Silver means a little tinkering with settings. Bronze means it can work with effort, and borked means it just doesn’t work.

    So, 84% working with 0 effort, and 11% working with light tinkering.

    The post is kind of incomprehensible if you’re not already familiar with proton and the troubleshooting website proton DB.

      It’s also not a great metric if you don’t know what games the dude regularly buys especially if they’re already a*nix user

        i mean, basically everything works so long as it doesn’t use certain anti cheat systems. But knowing what they play would have been more useful for the sake of discussion.

          Given that league is widely played, that addendum you did is sadly a huge blocker for a lot of people, but because of league and valorant.

            yah, it’s a bummer, but most people who play games on PC aren’t playing titles that have non-Linux supporting anti cheat.

          I dunno, I haven’t been able to get Subnautica to work for some reason. It’s likely due to the games own spaghetti code barely being functional on the intended OS’s as is…

          But it’s a bummer nontheless.

          Same goes for XCOM.
