[Lutris] Farcry 6 stuck on black screen when using Gamescope?
Since I couldn't get get with Proton 8 to work with Proton-Caller, I went with this standalone script:
-
Can I run any program, not only games with proton?
Yeah pretty much. Check out Proton Caller: https://github.com/caverym/proton-caller

Microsoft Is Slowly Rolling Out Ads in the Windows 11 Start Menu
It's funny, I spent the time to get a windows app launching in proton as I was having some issues with the Linux version that I didn't have the time/patience to diagnose and fix myself.
The launcher is called proton-call ... I changed Steam to use the version of proton to match what the app expected, and it worked pretty cleanly. All said, I do wish it were easier for a separate launcher or third party to include proton as a separate package.

Proton-caller Works Much Better Than Lutris Does.
This tool can be installed through package manager in any Debian and Arch based distros. Also, it can be manually built and complied from source code. (here's the github link if you want to check it now: https://github.com/caverym/Proton-Caller/)

Marvel’s Spider-Man FLT on Steam Deck. nothing happen when I click “Play”, no error messages, tried proton 7, experimental and GE, please help
Run it through proton-caller instead of steam itself
-
Proton-GE vs Wine-GE?
As someone who owns a crap ton of games, Proton-GE works for every single game that are supposed to be working on Linux for me. I use it in conjunction with proton-caller, they just work. Not sure where this things are likely to break in subtle ways comes from.

Gaming issues or something
Proton is not inseparably tied to Steam; you can easily run it outside that environment, and projects like proton-caller make it dead simple.

When I find out that epic games can run on proton
i use proton-caller and find it easier to manage non-steam games that way. heroic game launcher and bottles should be easier though.
-
Is it possible to run Proton without steam installed?
Yes it is. But it's not recommended.

A New Era for Mixed Reality
The "Metaverse" is a complete joke, and among gamers, Valve has a way better reputation than Meta. Why would they want to dilute that brand?
They already have their own platform (Steam), OS (SteamOS), VR headset (Index), their own Windows translation layer (Proton, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton), their own partnership with cloud gaming (Steam Cloud Play using GeForce Now , https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/cloudgaming), etc.
IMO: As someone with thousands of games on Steam, there's no way in hell I'd want that linked to Facebook. I think they eventually removed the requirement to have a FB account to use a Quest, but they still require a Meta account. Yuck.
This reeks of Facebook recognizing the Metaverse as the failure that it was and opening it up because it's no longer relevant...

NTFS messes up
Did you mount it with the correct flags?
-
How do I use multiple hard drives on Kubuntu for steam?
there is a hack to try and use your existing windows game install from an NTFS drive, but i don't recommend it as steam will try to save file names that are not allowed on NTFS...plus ext4 is faster.

Game crashes within 10 seconds of launching unless I reinstall from scratch
From a quick search, here's what I found. It looks like you're encountering some common issues that can occur with games running on Linux through Proton, especially with the recent updates to games like Satisfactory that might affect compatibility. The log entries you're seeing related to D3DCompile2 failing to compile shader and the issues with Ternary operator and LinearToSrgbBranching not being defined, suggest that there's a problem with shader compilation. This can often be related to the version of Proton or the graphics drivers you are using. Some users have reported that the game does launch with the -vulkan option but with graphical glitches and lower performance, which indicates that the Vulkan renderer is working but possibly not optimally on your setup. From the discussions in the community, users have suggested ensuring that the latest drivers for your graphics card are installed and, if using an Intel GPU, that the Mesa drivers are up to date since Intel XeSS references were found in the logs. If you're using NVIDIA graphics, make sure you have the latest drivers and possibly set the PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% to enable DLSS if you're under Vulkan. If you're using an Optimus laptop with both Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, make sure your Optimus setup is correctly configured. Some users have found success by specifying DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAMES=GeForce to force the game to use the NVIDIA GPU. It's also worth noting that if you're encountering issues with DirectX 11, you might want to try forcing the game to use DirectX 10 if possible or look into DXVK configurations that could resolve compatibility issues. Lastly, if none of these solutions work, you could try running a trace with apitrace to gather more detailed logs that might point to the specific issue. If you're still stuck, it would be a good idea to report the issue to the Proton GitHub page or seek further assistance in the game's community forums where others might have encountered and solved similar issues. For more information and to find others who might have resolved similar issues, check out the community discussions on GitHub, Steam Community, and the DXVK GitHub page.
