be warned that some games only work with certain versions of proton (in my experience, usually either 7, 8, or 9), or at least that's the case on a steam deck

The good news is, things run Very Well in proton, you just have to force it on.
oh huh, i just assumed 'linux compatibility' included proton; didn't realize i could force things to boot. i'll have to try that next time
Oh no yeah you have to force it for absolutely every game that doesn't have a native Linux build. Which is still basically everything but hearts of iron 4.
But it runs like butter, even new stuff. I actually get better performance in a lot of new games under proton b/c direct x12 is so shit.

yeah if you enable "use proton for all other games" i have yet to find a game that doesn't actually work actually really really well
