run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.
and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I had trouble running anything on Windows. Probably around early Windows 7? It's been years.
Mate, come on... If a game crashes on Windows, you know it's the game's or the driver's fault.
If a game crashes on Linux, it might be the game's fault, or the driver's fault, or the virtualiser's fault, or the virtualised driver's fault, or maybe a config file somewhere has something commented for no reason, or maybe you just rebooted and forgot to re-mount the secondary drive, or maybe a billion other reasons.
Gaming on Linux is MUCH better than it used to be, but pretending that it's anywhere near Windows' level of "fire and forget" is just being silly.
I have the feeling you don't play much non-popular games.
Such as?
