Out of 73 games

Pretty good. Only two multiplayer games in the silver area that I might play once every 3-5 years. The rest I don't care about. But overall very good if one doesn't care about multiplayer games.

What I don’t get is why some games (even newer ones) don’t work in newer versions of proton but do work in older versions of proton.

I’m talking games working in proton 7.x or 8. that don’t work in say proton 9 or proton 8..

I rarely seem to have any luck with newer versions let alone proton experimental.

🤷‍♂️

18 months ago I tried to roll my own SteamBox. Games launched from Steam worked great. Everything launched from other launchers was mixed, but wouldn't launch from Steam...generally speaking. I switched back to Windows and removed the login because I wanted a console-like experience.

I wish Valve would launch an updated SteamOS.

If you want something similar to SteamOS I recommend checking out Bazzite.

Try pop os. It's been flawless for me. Lutris has gotten all the non steam stuff to work for me.

You can configure your OS to boot directly into Steam Big Picture mode, then add lutris/heroic as non steam games.

Maybe it's just my "golden touch", but like 70% of the games I've tried to play have had some kind of issue. I recently got a steam deck and I regularly have crashes where the whole deck just does a full restart. Usually while I'm already gaming for a while. On the deck most games do generally start though, which is better than my own PC. On my PC I tend to have to hack around a bit before it works. For now I'm still gaming on Windows because of this instability, but I will have to switch at some point due to Micro$oft's ever growing greed
