95% of my games work on Linux. Quite a few windows specific programs too. Praise proton and the wine team!

Examples of Windows programs that work via proton?

One very specific 3d printer program, greetings workshop (my mom had the program back in the day and she likes getting cards from it), Starcraft1 and Starcraft2 (works pretty well!), some contract specific programs. Theres a couple of others I have hooked up, but you get the idea.

If it doesn't work the first time, I usually go on https://appdb.winehq.org/ or the proton specific one and take a look.

Thanks!
