How does Proton work?
(programming.dev)
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Proton updates can sometimes unintentionally break or introduce bugs and glitches for certain games in which case you can force the use of an older version of proton where the game works best.
Most of the time though the latest version works fine. GE refers to a custom version of proton with community patches applied to faster than official proton releases.
I have used my Steam Deck for roughly two weeks now so I might be wrong but personally the latest Proton version running games through Steam works perfectly fine.
