(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

What cope. I still run into countless compatibility issues which bars Linux from daily use for me. Stop trying to downplay proton compatibility, it just makes your arguments appear disingenuous.

I would fully switch over to Linux in a heartbeat if there was no compatibility problems.

Even if it had full comparability, you won't have switched to linux. You don't need reasons to do it, except your own wish

Eh, works fine for me. I have a lot of games to choose from, so I'm really not lacking on selection.

That said, I totally get it if it doesn't work for the things you need. Use what works. Linux works better for me than Windows, so it's what I use.

Which games? I don't think I've ever encountered a game that didn't run with Proton out of the box.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

first, file a report. so devs are aware of your problem.

second, i feel you. i'm in the same situation. if i switch to linux right now, my stream deck will lose features and i probably on't be able to use my steering wheel anymore. plus i really struggled to install fusion360.

Some game updates just break proton compatibility.
