Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?
Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

I just bought a steam deck for my 15yo’s bday present - now what?

Can Wine-GE play the ARR opening movie?
I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

FSR is back with the latest GE Wine/Proton release: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11
