Sure, it is not a 100% everything runs solution, but it is probably 85%+, maybe even 90%+ works solution. To call it unreliable knowing the history of gaming on Linux is a little odd, maybe we just have different expectetions.
The level of certainty I can now have that a game will run on linux is so high that I am happy not wasting my time and money with games that wont.
I have tried switching to linux off and on since about original TBC or WotLK days, I always ended up switching back because things were too finicky, or I couldnt get most games to work. Now it just works for so many things that I am happy ditching things that don’t.
Oh I see, I missed that fact, I thought you were talking about proton in general.
The only time I had problems with wayland - proton (I think) was with stanley parable, which I outlined somewhere in this thread (I am a little lost honestly, have gotten a ton of replies).
But in either of our cases I doubt the problem was nvidia - wayland, rather just wayland.
I found proton to be unreliable. Never got hat in time to play correctly.

Oh sure, it’s just I found switching off of Wayland resolved most of my issues with proton.

Yeah I should have added more details.
Yeah that’s a high probability. I don’t have any amd GPUs to test with, newest one I have is a Radeon x1900 haha
