> I find it very hard to believe you haven't seen any of these issues (especially alt-tabbing). I actually sometimes think people are just straight up lying but I have no hard evidence.

I've got thousands of hours gaming on linux and I've never had an alt-tab problem. Kind of weird to go right to claiming people are outright lying, maybe there's another issue you're running into?

> weird to go right to claiming people are outright lying

Rule 1 for having a good time on HN: Never argue with a green account.

I've been around here for a while and I've been lurking for a while. If you are alluding I am somehow trolling or something else, I am not. I

If you actually have any solid rationale against my position other than the lies of these things never happening (even though on proton db there are reports of it happening in games).

Most of the arguments have anecdotes about how it works fine for them and then claim I am making anecdotes myself even though I have a very large steam and gog library and have tried a good sample of games on at least two machines now and a few distros. It isn't anecdotes when you have made a lot of effort to investigate the viability.

I really want to stop using Windows but unless the gaming situation improves I can't and people pretending these issues such as the ones I have mentioned don't exist they won't get solved.

Anyway it will be back to lurking again because this place is a total hive mind.

Tbh I don’t have an opinion on this matter as I don’t game on Linux at all. I’m inclined to believe your side actually. As I find doing almost anything on Linux is a harder than it is on windows.

My green account rule is separate to the matter.

I don't believe you either it happens on quite a few games. I've even seen proton devs discuss it being a problen.
