I doubted Proton for so long. It's not problem-free, but I get 144 Hz in Elite Dangerous, and all it takes is the "force this game to run in Proton" checkbox in Steam. Wow.

I was encouraged to try it after I saw its platinum rating on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/

I don't think I'll ever do GPU passthru though; that's 3hard5me.

It’s gotten better but yeah there still issues, that’s why I like dual booting, windows gives me no issues for gaming if that’s all you do and Fedora has been rocksteady back to 25 when I switched, my work machine has gone from 26 to 30 via in place upgrades which I always expect to fail but so far never have.

I may play with Proton at some point though if the games I play are properly supported, mostly though my gaming time is spent on the Rift S playing Project Cars 2, combined with a nice force feedback wheel and pedals (Logitech G920) its a really good experience, I didn’t expect VR to be so compelling actually, it’s not perfect but damn is it impressive when you are going the Nurburgring in the dark as snow blows past your car and you look left and see a car coming up in your mirrors.

I think I’m a convert and I’m eagerly waiting for what the next generation can bring.

Elite Dangerous is incredible in VR as well btw.
