Linux Gaming

Yup, the only game that I never got to work was Vermintide 2, and that was because of Fatshark and not Proton.

Yeah most games are plug and play though every once in a while I find I need to switch to an older proton version to get something to work better.

From what Ive heard the issues with Nvidia on linux are less about proton not working and more about the closed source drivers being a little more effort to install, and causing issues with more bleeding edge and rolling distros because nvidia drags its feet on supporting the newer features and standards. Plenty of people use Nvidia on linux and it does come with benefits as well such as better video decoding and encoding, better work drivers, and since its not foss they can just support HDMI 2.1's closed nonsense without having to worry about stepping on toes.

I dont use Nvidia so I cant say for sure but I feel like the solution to the typical "oh no I ran an update and everything is broken!" is to just use a stable/lts distro.

To simplify what's been said already, if your nvidia card is working on Linux in your system, it will work fine with Proton.

I have an Nvidia 2060 Super with Pop_OS driver version 535.xx(?), and I haven't run into a game proton doesn't work with.

Was running an RTX2080 on for a couple years until just recently when I gave the system to a relative. More stuff worked than didn't by far. As someone else said, it's been at the point for awhile where I just assumed anything I wanted to run would work. Not literally everything does, so if you have one game that you must have, it could be worth a google search to see what folks are saying.

i have more choppiness on the desktop, booting takes longer, and a few more annoyances here and there.

gaming usually works well.

its not ideal and a few details are out of place but is perfectly usable. they have a better oss driver on the works too.

nothing but bad experience running an nvidia laptop though so be wary of that
