According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That's a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months... It's also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2% marketshare but at that time the Steam customer size in absolute numbers was much smaller a decade ago than it is now. So if the percentage numbers are accurate, this is likely the largest in absolute terms that the Linux gaming marketshare has ever been.
I am not sure how you can mess up using proton but somehow this seems like user error. Every distro I have tried it on, with multiple DEs...it just works.
Seeing as you are the only person who really has this issue, it's either your hardware or it's you. If you try it on other hardware and it still happens, it's you.
oh yeah its totally me when this happens on a stock distro, it cant possible be that the software isnt the problem, it must always be the user even if its what you claim a rare problem
Umm...yes? It works for the rest of us on different distros across all different machines. So either it's your machine, or you are doing something wrong. That's it, there really isn't much else to it.
I wonder if it's a software or hardware issue on your end that might be causing it.
Been using proton since it started and it's definitely not always as seamless and requires tweaking or going to protondb and checking bug reports, changing your proton version, and etc, but generally it has worked with me on multiple iterations of hardware.
