I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    I agree with this meme 100%

    Unfortunately, the game I mainly play, apex legends, has started giving me all sorts of trouble this past year. I’m on PopOS so part of me wonders if it’s related to their focus on cosmic (or maybe they aren’t prioritizing fixing bugs?) But I also have no idea where the issue sits? Steam flat pack? Proton? Apex itself? PopOS? A weird config/setting on my machine?

    But it actually highlights this point of this post because instead of playing apex I have played starfield with a single crash around launch.

      Hmm, I’m a big Apex player myself on Linux, Nobara. Almost no issues for over a year now. What version of Proton are you using?
