ProtonDB is driven by reports/feedback from individual users, right? Did you submit your experience so that the ratings are more accurate?

ProtonDB tells you that someone, somewhere at some point managed to get it working. It doesn't directly help you, but knowing it can be done can be an incentive to experiment instead of giving up.

To draw a parallel: message boards are 99% observation and 1% participation. There’s no need to goad your fellow HN readers.

That's unfortunately not unexpected. "Linux Desktop" is a ludicrously diverse not-platform for which Valve already has to bring its own runtime of basic libraries along just to ensure some minimum level of compatibility even for native Linux games.

Just dual boot and only use Windows for games? That's what I do but I haven't booted to Windows in months now.
