In addition to steam with proton, you can add :

  • ProtonGE : it's a modified version of Proton, if games don't work with the default Proton versions you can try this one and sometimes it fixes the issue.
    • Don't bother installing it manually, though, just install ProtonUpQt with your package manager, run it, and have it install the latest ProtonGE for you. Then you go in steam, in your game's compatibility options, and you choose ProtonGE in the list. It's not needed for most games, but it's nice for those few cases where the game doesn't work.
  • Protontricks

AMD GPU is good, it means you won't want to die installing Nvidia drivers if you choose Fedora.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
