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?

Is it just one guy’s project though? that kind of thing worries me in an xkcd #2347 kind of way.

honestly I don't know. That's a fair point, though I don't really consider proton-ge to be mission critical by any means.

It is mostly just the one guy. But afaik a lot of the maintenance involved is just bumping versions up to the latest version, which besides testing shouldn't really take much work.

I think he also sometimes adds his own patches for games, which would be a lot more work for one person of course. But this doesn't happen every release.
