Proton, Linux gaming etc. do not work well unless you are running open source graphics drivers (... NVIDIA) and standard resolution 1920x1080. Try any of this with NVIDIA and display scaling other than 100% and you are going to have a bad time.

I run at 3840x1080 using the closed source nVidia drivers and it generally works fine. I don't have any scaling going on though, and I can definitely see where that could be an issue.

I can't say that I recommend the nouveau drivers for gaming.

VR with proprietary NVIDIA drivers work fine. Other than NVIDIA still not adding async reprojection to their drivers.
proprietary nvidia drivers have worked better for me for years
