    I, on the contrary, prefer it when everyone uses mainstream Wine with winetricks and prefixes so if something doesn’t work, you can at least fix it using someone’s advice posted on winehq. With Proton it seems that everyone expects stuff to either just work or doesn’t bother. The Proton advice is usually as valuable as Windows problems advice.

        Yes, I do that too, except different things work and don’t. And making tweaks for Proton in Steam seems more bother.

        Like I said, similar quality to googling for Windows problems. Reports on WineHQ are sorted by Wine version, OS version, usually involve specific actions taken.

          That’s exactly how protondb works. And you also get hardware and distro information.

          You can search and filter reports by all of the aforementioned criteria for any game that’s listed.

            OK, it just has utterly degenerate webpage design. I thought those were voluntary additions by users telling what they use, not common format. Inconvenient.
