“Barely” feels a little unfair. But the games that do require tweaking do tend to require doing a fair bit of research. Often rather daunting research.
Dude, you know you can integrate non-steam games into your steam library to deploy proton/have them in your game selection, right? It’s literally two clicks.
Cuphead, Papers Please, Freedom Planet, and Quake 1 and 2 work perfectly with that configuration in steam on both my Debian-based and Arch based linux installations (Games installed to disk using their provided installers and then having their windows executables added to steam with Proton 9).
If you have something esoteric about your setup, explain it here, and we can look at it.
Cool, I’m happy for you. I didn’t come here to debug my system. I spent many hours trying across various distros on various hardware with no success. I don’t care anymore. When GOG decides they want to support Proton, I’ll consider supporting them. Until then I just buy and use them on steam and they just work. The end. Thank you.
please don’t mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either
Odd, been enjoying Silksong and earlier Baldur’s Gate 3 via Heroic (GOG) and it just works on Linux. Not sure what the ‘barely works’ part you are talking about is. Hell, half the games I buy are through GOG now. Only one I had to do anything for is Breath of Fire IV, which isn’t even offered on Steam…
Not sure what the ‘barely works’ part you are talking about is.
The part where it barely works. Like maybe 50% of the time. Often enough to not even bother with it and just get my games on Steam where they’re always available and always work.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
It would be good news if there were any games on there I actually wanted to buy, or if they supported Proton.
And please don’t mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either. Steam is the only one that works 100% of the time.
ITT: everyone wants to lie about Heroic and Lutris.
Over half my library is from GOG and over 95% of my gaming is on Linux. It’s as easy as Steam, you click install and play.
It isn’t. And you know it isn’t.

It’s 50/50 for me
Tried Bottles yet?

Do you have specific examples of games that didn’t work for you?
I don’t keep a log but off the top of my head, Deathloop and Cygni
