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.

lol that's the funny thing about linux right? and with all the various distros and setups it can be rather hard to diagnose what the issue is.
The inability to use proton correctly is a constant over 3 wildly different distros
I am not sure how you can mess up using proton but somehow this seems like user error. Every distro I have tried it on, with multiple DEs...it just works.
The classic Linux moment, when it doesn't work, blame the user
Most of the time, it's the user. And when it isn't, it's the user
fair enough lmao
Seeing as you are the only person who really has this issue, it's either your hardware or it's you. If you try it on other hardware and it still happens, it's you.
oh yeah its totally me when this happens on a stock distro, it cant possible be that the software isnt the problem, it must always be the user even if its what you claim a rare problem
Umm...yes? It works for the rest of us on different distros across all different machines. So either it's your machine, or you are doing something wrong. That's it, there really isn't much else to it.
