Are you on a different distro now in which that doesn't happen? Or did it happen on every Linux install? I'm not saying you did anything 'wrong', but "the tech isn't ready" doesn't square with me since I've been running Bazzite for a few years now (after multiple other distros), first on Nvidia then on AMD, with minimal issues.

I tried bazzite, ubuntu and linux mint with the same problems for all those distress. I just the bullet and reinstalled windows. Gotta have my treats...

Proton will often perform slightly worse than Windows, but at times can perform better. This isn't surprising as you're adding a layer of complexity.

The tech is absolutely there. Some devs have been lazy, and refuse to support Linux, but that's nothing new.
