From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What games and what software?
cyberpunk,and adobe acorobat.
You were told before, your cyberpunk issues are user error.
As far as adobe, don't bother.
why dont bother with adobe?
as with cyberpunk im sure they were problems with proton/wine itself bec i did the right steps and it didnt work
because there are better pdf readers available for free.
also cyberpunk certainly works for everyone else on proton.
For Adobe Acrobat, well, it's an Adobe product, and those are famously not compatible with Linux at all in any capacity. You'll have to find something to replace it with or spin up a Windows virtual machine to run it.
For Cyberpunk, where did you get it and and what have you tried? Also, consider volunteering any other information that might be helpful (distro, hardware, etc.), I don't think either of us wants to play 20 Questions to help you troubleshoot.
i got it from dodi repacks,ubuntu,gtx 1650 i5-10500h 16gb ram sata ssd. on steam add as non steam app with proton on.
the repack was installed and i tried to run the file from windows ntfs partiton.
Linux sometimes has trouble with NTFS partitions. Consider moving it to your Ubuntu partition and trying it again.
I know adobe photoshop has kernel-level stuff that does not work with Linux, pirated or not. I'd imagine other Adobe products behave similarly.
