From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That may be a while for me. But I will try to remember to swi g back around here and comment in like, a month or two lol whenever Recall is about to hit. I will admit, I tried to launch Sea of Thieves, Elden Ring, Cassette Beasts, and the Master Chief Collection, all which have really great scores on protondb. I chalked it up to inexperience at the time but I'll run these log commands.
If they have good scores on protondb, it's probably an issue with configuration. First, make sure you're running it with proton. Go to the game's configuration > compatibility and tick "force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool." then select the highest version of proton available(don't choose experimental if your game is supported according to protondb). Then, click play. if needed, proton will install and this should solve your issue. If it doesn't, then you can delete steam(
sudo pacman -R steam), and remove the .steam folder in your home folder. This deletes your configuration for steam, and might help resolve issues. Then, re-install steam(sudo pacman -S steam), and sign in again. Download your game and set up proton as I told you. If that still doesn't work, you'll want to make a post and share the log files.Thats actually exactly how I set it up the first time ahead of time. I followed another guide and had set it to force the use of the newest version of proton, thats when I tried all of those games. I'll have to install arch and try it again and let you know. If my memory serves me well enough to come back here.
