I can't run a lot of games with anti-cheat on Linux, so it's not viable for me.

I'm wine inept so it's not viable for me either. I spent a total of 4 to 6 weekends trying to get shit to work. I just can't get it right.

I just recently tried a game running with proton (which i understand is wine with extras). I was really impressed cause i download it and it was just running. Maybe i got lucky or it was just the game (valheim).

My only big trouble with all of this is the hardware management, not having access to software like adrenaline gives me a bad feeling. I ran the game steadily with the GPU at around 60°C, but certain situations, and specially the "start up" produced peaks of 90°C in really small time windows. Thats holding me for now.

As I understand, valheim has a linux native version but i wamted to try proton after all.

I was able to get an indie title to work but it wasn't the two games I was playing at the time. Guardians of the galaxy and RE4. I'm currently on FFXIV which has a silver or gold on the "does it work" site I forget what it's called. But not having adrenaline is kind of a bummer. I use that too. The frame generation is a great feature.
