Not op, but mine is
So far that has covered the problems i ran into, but maybe someone has something to add?
Add to the list "Deactivate Steam overlay". That had fixed multiple games for me in the past.
One thing to add to that list:
When checking ProtonDB, cross-reference the environment variables with those listed on the proton-cachyos README. In my experience, most people are copy-pasting environment variables they read from other people without understanding what they do or even if they do anything at all.
Same here.
And if there no protondb info or it have "platinum", then start praying. Also, god forbid if you want something extra like FSR4 or install some mods. Then you mixing this things to whole "is that my hardware\software\proton issue or game genially bugged?"
This is why I play console. I am just too lazy/busy/worn out to learn all that I'd need to know about that side of the gaming world. That's why the steam machine interested me until I saw the price.
I'm afraid we will disappoint you further here, cause steam machine is just a PC with SteamOS (which is "just" an Arch Linux with few tweaks\changes). So all those issues described above and their workarounds also applied to steam machine.
