I remember now why I stopped #gaming when I switched to #Linux: gaming on Linux sucks. But blahblah #Proton good it works on my machine. One, I don't believe you. The experience on MY machine sucks so bad there is no way this works on any machine, but keep sipping denial juice. Two, sure it 'works', in the same way mowing the lawn with a pair of scissors works. I just want to press enter and play a game, not hack into the mainframe because a fullscreen game crashes GNOME and restarts my PC!
@thomy2000 It's all on a game-by-game, machine-by-machine basis. Barring unsupported anti-cheat or launchers you may have to switch Proton versions or add a launch option, I've personally never had to do anything more complex than that (and I play way too many games...).
For me personally on an AMD GPU, Wayland seems feature-complete. In terms of bugs though Wayland can be a pain. My primary monitor always seems to lock up either entirely or in parts. Like I can use the taskbar but a game becomes unresponsive, or vise versa. Literally as I typed this, my taskbar locked up and I can't select anything so I will have to reboot lol.
Another annoying thing about KDE under both X and Wayland (though it happens in Wayland far more) is when the taskbar and title bar icons default to the display server logo. I hate that. Probably on the app developers though.
GNOME under Wayland is a different story, I ran that for a year and outside of some external monitor funkiness everything just seemed bug free. Might switch back once GNOME gets VRR support, we'll see how Plasma 6 is.
Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon....
Are you on X or Wayland?
If not on Wayland, what's stopping you?
How people can live without KDE Plasma?
First of all, this post is not intended to offend anyone, just to comment on my personal experience....
How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?

Just hit Silver with Chun-Li, but I had some help
for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.
