I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.
In the time I have been a Linux gamer, it has gone from “here is a list of games that work in Linux” to “here is a list of games that do not work in Linux.” Which some dictionaries define as “progress.”

Hmm, I’m a big Apex player myself on Linux, Nobara. Almost no issues for over a year now. What version of Proton are you using?

Serious question: how do nvidia drivers perform on Linux? I’ve heard they’re not very good and missing features. Anything I should know about? I have an RTX 3060ti that I use for both games and stuff like blender, substance designer/painter, etc.

Short time? Proton is built around Wine, which is 30 years old. 30 years is not a short time.
Remember the wine days where proton didn’t exist? Barely any game was playable.
We got from unplayable to “download and play” within 5 years
