i have no idea how, why or what is wrong
it always feels like russian roulette but with 5 chambers filled
im honestly envious to constantly hear hwo great proton and stuff is
but for me it works like 1 out of 5 times, distro doesnt matter, all the results are the same
i stopped counting how often i got the useless “must be your hardware or your config!!!”, cant be that the software steam is trying to peddle and the software its based on are fundamentally broken, and when something goes wrong you might as well shoot yourself cause youd be hard pressed to find any reasonable help
no, my hardware is fine, it works perfectly and doesnt have any issues anywhere else
no, my config is fine, cause im not stupid enough to go anywhere near any kind of config that could break anything, i dont touch that stuff, cause there is no reason
What i don’t follow is why you’re having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games.
If it’s not the game, because you’ve checked protondb, and it’s not the software, because you’ve installed multiple distros i feel like you’ve either got some super unique hardware challenge or you’re making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you’ve done things that are obvious, we’re just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail.
Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you’re the root cause of your own problems.
You are quite the cocky jerk for not getting software to run that complete noobs are using on their Steam Deck. I’d be more ashamed than anything in your shoes.
Really? They always worked very well for me, with a bit of fiddling around

Sounds like either a hardware issue or some very specific configuration that breaks your games.
Or, that by poor luck, you really love games that break in Proton like Denuvu games, some blizzard games etc.

Do you check protondb?
my goodness what an idea! Why didnt i think of that!
Lol, so defensive.
So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then
thats the furthest from being defensive, more like aggressive against a piece of shit piece of software, but whatever dude
Sure.
