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.

Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob
There's an official mini-guide on using your NTFS game drive on Linux, though I would strongly suggest trying to use it as-is without following the guide first! https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

Space Engineers crashing when I try to join an online game
What steps have you taken to try and fix the issue?. for example, have you looked through the protondb page for SpaceEngineers or tried different proton versions (or protonGE), you could also read through the proton issue tracker for SpaceEngineers to see if there are any other users with multiplayer issues

FYI: Today's update broke compatibility on Linux and MacOS, game won't start
Workaround in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3189 worked for me

CAN'T PLAY ON LINUX. Latest update broke game - Steam
Here's the proton issue about it. Doesn't look that unsolvable. I'm optimistic that we can play again with an experimental proton within a few days.

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

GE-Proton8-4 Released
It's probably based on the Wine version of Proton: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases is currently at Wine-GE-Proton8-8, which is specifically developed and recommended by GE himself for non Steam games.

How to Easily Install Battle.Net and Diablo 4 on Steam Deck - Steam Deck HQ
Lutris doesn’t update its runner often at all. I don’t think Lutris has its own version of Wine 8 yet. However, GE provides updates to Wine-GE every few weeks.

I made Wine Dependency Hell Solver for Windows games running under Wine
In theory, it's 'wine-with-added-stuff,' but in-practice, it's integrated to use stuff in Steam, including specific environment variables and the like. This can be mitigated and built around, but seems like that would be more work given that this is a relative non-issue in that wine-GE exists.
