I just contributed my first review to #ProtonDB because I had to fix two minor issues, including fixing a fix of someone else (with a little help from my programmer boyfriend).

One of my 2025 new year's resolutions is trying to move away from Windows 10 for gaming (as it's supposed to lose support later this year).

So far, I'm amazed at what already works, how many games in my library, especially the ones I cherish, are already natively supported on Linux, how many games just effortlessly run on Linux without native support and how much fun it can be to fix the ones that don't and sharing your findings with the community (similar vibe as contributing to OSM).

You're facing new compromises, that's for sure, but Windows had so many compromises and we learned to sail around them. And now the compromises just stack up so much, I'd rather re-learn a few things, become more independent and help other people, with even less technical knowledge than I have, to do the same.

I'm finally getting around to trying the #Filament game ( store.steampowered.com/app/113 ) out, but I can't get it to work. Any #SteamDeck #Proton #GEProton #linuxgaming people out there who have recently gotten it to a playable state? The user reports on #protondb are not relevant for me, I'm guessing most of them are outdated by now. I read somewhere that Steam used 1.0 scout when they verified it, but that's definitely a no-go for me. I've tried so many Proton and GE Proton versions now, both on Steam Deck, a Fedora PC and a Manjaro PC, but there are different show stopping graphical issues on all so far, the longest I've gotten is to the first door. Anyone else having any luck?

Absolutely!!!

The issue I have with this though (and its HOW it works, so that's just how it is), is that it only shows me the Proton badge for games I already purchased.

Generally, again for me, I will check #ProtonDB before buying a game...so its not all that helpful for me!
