The last two games I've played: Lethal Company and BeamNG.Drive, both games that should be basically perfect. They both ran fine enough for me to play for an extended period, but there were some visual glitches like flickering or stuttering.

Edit: the person talking about echo chambers was so right... I'm getting downvoted for sharing my experience that happens to go slightly (!) contradict the "Linux is the best gaming platform" narrative

Sounds like you're the only one.. I've played several hours of Lethal Company, and it's ran perfectly.

Well that must be why on my 2 computers I've had some minor issues like the game crashing for having the misfortune of changing my workspace or having flickering on the top of my screen for 3 hours that persists after restarts and reboots.

Just because your experience has been perfect does not mean mine and other people's been. This community needs to stop taking criticism of real issues as an insult to their mother.

Just because your experience has been perfect does not mean mine and other people's been.

That's why I linked to ProtonDB, where the vast majority of people have a perfect experience out of the box.

If you have bugs that the vast majority don't have, then why don't you... let's say... go report them instead of complaining on some random forum so they can can actually get patched...

The devs can't patch a bug only a handful of people experience if those said people don't submit proper bug reports.

Because I have not been able to isolate and reproduce it yet. I also did no troubleshooting to see if it was present on other proton versions yet. And also the game crashing on workspace switching has been reported in the past, it is a known issue.
