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/)

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.

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
