Well, I’ve worked with Linux before, and it wasn’t a generally smooth experience, so I went in with “it’s a different environment” in mind. But the series of events that unfolded was absurd. I was so ready and hyped to install some software that I remember from back in the day and try to emulate at least one game, but no luck. If I want to do it, I’m gonna need to dedicate some time and more effort than expected to setting up. I’ve been procrastinating because I don’t want to deal with these bugs.
For games, just use your package manager to install Steam, then install Proton from there. (IIRC it’s automatic for just the standard release version.) Steam games should mostly just work without you needing to do anything. Other games, you want to use something like Heroic or Lutris (I recommend the former) to manage them and launch them with Proton without manually doing it all every time.
If you expand on what your issues were, I’m sure plenty of people would be happy to help. Again, it should be pretty trivial, so I’m not sure what went wrong.
