Is there an easy way to depict which version of Proton you should use for games based on age or even a site that maybe knows which games work best with which versions? I've found experimental to work on some, while not working at all the other day when I tried CounterStrike 2. Proton 9 worked fine with that though. I've seen some suggestions on installing with a different version than when running a game, but I never know if they just tried going down the list and then just stopping at one that worked.

Edit: Also in something like Lutris, if it works using the standard wine configuration, I usually don't alter it to proton, should I be for better performance?

I've set Lutris to use GE-Proton-Latest as thé default Wine configuration. I do believe you might have some performance improvements over the standard Wine config.
