Proton GE 7.39
You can see what is implemented by finding your game in this folder.

This is true especially for the Deck
That's what protonfixes included in proton ge builds do and lutris install scripts they add fixes and winetricks dlls to get games running without extra tweaking. https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes

Arkham Asylum works flawlessly with Proton GE on Steam Deck
One of the more important parts of proton GE is that incorporates protonfixes this will automatically install dependencies e.g like the direct x 43 complier in Batman Arkhams case. I think the game does a check for the dll and throws error, these dlls are not something valve can legally include but the end user can download and install themselves.

So, what actually are the differences between main fork Proton and the GE fork?
The biggest difference is they have built in the protonfixes library this automates installing missing dlls other settings using proton tricks.

He probably didn't even bother to try Proton
Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Modding Question
ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

Will there ever be any linux support?
I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

Techniques to Get DX9 Games Working, The Maw in Particular?
That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.
