Shit, just linux.
Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

proton never works for me so thats out of the question most likely
if you perhaps have an easy to understand (not KISS but actually easy to comprehend) solution, guide, steps or otherwise im happy to listen, i dont mind distro for the most part
I meant proton as an example of a product where someone else did the tinkering for the users that want to use software compiled on a different operating system.
My suggestion is to search for an alternative of the program built for linux. That's the only way you have to avoid tinkering.
Because using something compiled on a different OS is tinkering
fair enough, thank you
Proton is designed only to be used within Steam, use something like wine-ge-proton outside of Steam (this won't solve your problem, but keep it in mind)
And don't use proton for non games, use wine
i sometimes had margin able better results with that one on lutris, but nothing otustanding
