Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia? (lemm.ee)

Hello! I've tried a bunch of games but they're just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they're working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don't require GPU work fine too with version 8.

yep, I am distrohopping a lot of distros and nvidia support on Linux is very awful and sadly I have to revert to Windows atm. if I I buy AMD hardware I might try to switch

Nvidia is very much anti-Linux and anti-user.

They're more focused on the server market these days, which makes their Anti-Linux sentiment hillarious.

yeah. in contrast. NVIDIA support for Windows is excellent. But, AMD for Windows is bad (we must stick to modified driver or driver from PC vendor)

Well it's because AMD's drivers are just shit period. But most users on Linux use the Mesa drivers which are far superior to AMD's proprietary drivers.
