I am buying a friend’s PC for games. I want to avoid windows if at all possible, and I’m wondering what people’s experience using Proton in Linux for gaming has been. Are there certain publishers who use libraries Proton doesn’t handle well? Are there distros to avoid using with proton? Any other notes I should be aware of?
As others have mentioned, the main caveat here is that anti cheat games can work if the developers enable the support.
I’ve been playing dead by daylight very happily for a good few months now on Linux. Apex legends has also got official support for Linux as well.
