Regarding your game issues: i had that the last 2 times my nobara (fedora) updated, where Proton games suddendly used my CPU for rendering out of the blue, lagging out my system so hard i had to reboot. Keep an eye on CPU load; if it's this reinstalling Mesa Vulkan probably fixes it. I'm running an NVIDIA card.

Oooh, interesting, so you're right that when I get the lag, there's a lot of CPU usage. Also there was definitely a system update before it started happening - although I can't say exactly when because I wasn't gaming on this system for a few days.
I'm on Mint 22.1 and I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling through the software manager GUI, and I've also tried:
sudo apt purge mesa-vulkan-drivers
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers
None of that changed the problem. I also made sure I restarted the system.
Am I doing that right? Are there any other steps that I'm missing?
Just FYI, when you ask these kinds of questions, provide your region, and ask for that if others.
Here in southern California things are working as expected.
I would have asked about that but I checked a few places through a VPN first.
I turns out it was my noscript addon, I've put more details in an edit.
Might be something to do with the current Steam DDOS?
Could be, but it's hard to get any information on whether the site is actually down. downforeveryoneorjustme.com reports it as being up, but that could be just because it serves the loading icon and not anything useful.
What do you see when you go to protondb.com?
It works fine for me.
Thanks, I've found the problem, it's in an edit.
Works fine for me. Opened the page and searched for Cyberpunk 2077. Loaded right away
