Switched to Mint, couple questions (lemmy.world)

I've made the jump to Mint for my gaming PC. I work primarily on Ubuntu systems (cli, no gui) so it was a pretty simple choice. I installed GE proton, which fixed the lobby audio bug in phasmophobia, is there any reason I shouldn't just use that version of proton for all steam games?

One other question, evolution looks pretty solid for mail, any reason I should look elsewhere?

Some proton versions are compatible with some games, or some versions of games. Use whatever works, but generally, the newer the Proton version, the better performance you'll get out of a game. Check for compatibility notes and tricks per game here: https://www.protondb.com/

Evolution is fine. Thunderbird is fine. There's a bunch of others as well. Use whatever you like!
