    That's covered in the project's README. Here, I'll even link it for you so you don't wear out your fingers. [0]

    There's also Proton-GE [1], which is even more experimental and adds some bleeding edge fixes and features.

    I've heard it's pretty good for fixing video playback/rendering (e.g. cutscene) issues if both the stable and the experimental branch of Proton can't make it work.

    People are copy pasting settings and sharing but not actually looking at any docs. Disabling DirectX12 is going to give you a pretty good success rate of making a game work if it doesn't work out of the box.

    Here's a useful resource for understanding the settings. Use this before you ask the AI: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

    Also, let's be clear about what those rankings mean on ProtonDB

    FWIW it's fairly straightforward to set up FSR4 with Proton-GE nowadays, assuming you're comfortable with editing one config file or manually specifying an env var for the game[1]. I'm not sure if using an alternate version of Proton would be considered "native" though, or if you mean for the default version of proton (or for Linux builds of games specifically), but setting it up is a fairly straightforward process even for people who might prefer not to use the terminal if you use something like ProtonUp to manage the installation for you. I imagine that the process for using a custom Proton isn't much different on Bazzite and CachyOS, although I'm not sure whether it would be something commonly done on CachyOS given that they have their own Proton distribution.

    [1]: I don't think there's a way to link to it directly, but `PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1` (or a specific different version if you'd like) is documented in the README in this table: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom#modifica...

    Using SUPER+F for toggling fullscreen and SUPER+TAB to switch workspaces is basically the same workflow - it's just so much easier to customize Hyprland to be the exact way you want and Omarchy is a wonderful foundation for it. I found it had much better defaults and more intuitive customization than the Hyprland Hyprperks setup https://account.hypr.land/pricing

    Just tried it, worked without issue using Proton-GE https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom
