Is this really that rare? Maybe it's because I pretty much exclusively game on Linux but I feel like I see that message rather often.
On a side note I feel like Linux gamers could help each other out by mentioning how well the game works with Proton in their review. Also if there's any tweaks you need to do like using a specific version or bugs you encountered.
It doesn't need to effect the over all review. Good to know though.
You can do Proton related reviews on ProtonDB
i think it would be a good thing to also mention it on an normal steam review because that could mean that other user switch to linux that would have not because they think thair games don't run on linux
Rasies hand. Finally jumping back into Linux after years of Windows. Didn't really think of the gaming impact other than "so many games don't work on Linux so I can't use my main machine." I'm lucky enough to have 3 computers currently even though 1 of them is a third gen i7 and the other I got for free out of the trash so it's specs aren't great either. Enoug for me to install Endeavor then Mint to see how it goes gaming on them.
Oh yeah I typically check there and the PCGamingWiki if I run into difficulties but it's nice to not have to leave the Steam store page. Though admittedly I should probably check ProtonDB anyway in case an update caused a game to stop working with Proton.
