> can probably get an additional 5% to work with various levels of tweaking

My big complaint is the number of titles that receive a Platinum rating on ProtonDB, in spite of technical issues. I have purchased more than one title with a Platinum rating that had significant issues running on my machine.

This is compounded that Steam/ProtonDB user reports typically have an abysmal level of detail to replicate a working configuration. Someone got it to run flawlessly, but there is so much wine configuration jargon that each time I need to dig into the issues, I waste time on something that otherwise would work on Windows. I would love if there was a 'share my Proton configuration' per game that could be made available to the community.

I’ve experiences this, and it’s annoying. Worse is it’s never obvious if it’s a driver problem.

That said, part of why I know anything about computers was trying to get games to work on my old 486. I sort of miss the feeling of reward of really wanting to play a game and needing to dig into the technical weeds to finally get the right boot disk. Proton almost scratches that itch for me, sadly there aren’t enough games anymore to really motivate me.
