Proton is basically magic. I've got 1960 games on steam and I have a chunk that are listed as 'untested' but less than 10 that are listed as incompatible. The games listed as untested also usually end up just working. You may have to mess with proton or winetricks sporadically, but even that is very rare in my experience. It is nearly always an issue in a multiplayer game with anti-cheat when it just doesn't work.
@BarbecueCowboy @madcaesar That's basically my experience as well. Usually, the developers need to add a flag in their anti-cheat builds, and they'll just work; however, developers are frequently not interested.
