My biggest issue is I work in IT and by the time I'm done for the day I absolutely don't want to screw with it. I just wanna fire up and go. It seems that I might need to do some research, as things have progressed further than I'd realized.
Thats pretty much my experience with every game I play anymore. Its just click and go.
The only extra step, is something you only have to do once upon fresh install of steam, and thats go into settings > Compatibility > Enable steam play for all games, and set the default proton to use for them to proton experimental.
after that every windows game you download will automatically use proton experimental and should just run right off the bat.
Its genuinely amazing how far proton has come just in this last year alone, and gaming on steam in general.. and for that latter part, a lot of the progress is simply due to the gaming focus distros that have everything pre installed, configured, and setup ready to go.
