I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

      Well even if the user doesn’t really know what they’re doing, things shouldn’t easily break, that’s just bad.

        I’m not convinced this is a valid statement:

        If only Linux wouldn’t Bork my whole install when I try to switch to 144hz on my monitor.

        If he says his install is borked I believe him. If he says it’s “just” because he tried to switch to 144hz on his monitor, eh…

        Edit: Also sounds like nvidia binary blob driver. Odd to me that he didn’t get the “do you want to keep these settings” prompt, and that it didn’t revert when he didn’t click yes though.
