Well, I work with devops, so I am well aware of some of the benefits and limitations of VMs, and I also tried proton. But I’ve run in tons of issues when running older games that I like, specially mmos like Ragnarock Online, Perfect World, Prison Tale. They have lots of compatibility issues with the VM, even with windows 10 for that matter, which is a little easier to circumvent.
About performance, things like baldurs gate 3 and cyberpunk 77 that I like, have like 20 to 25 less frames on proton, to add salt to injury bg3 crashes a lot.
Your second paragraph tells me you haven’t even tried because the first part is just checking a checkbox in the steam
Please don’t assume thinga on the internet, steam accounts for a quarter of my time spent on games.
I’m not here to say which one is better, just saying that bashing a completely fine option is, at least, dumb.
