I wish they* would add the ProtonDB rating to the store pages now when you're browsing from the Linux client (or as an account setting). The SteamOS compatibility rating just doesn't tell the whole story.
Have you run into many games that don't work on Proton? I've yet to encounter a single one myself, though I'm sure they exist.
Yes, there are lots that require fucking around but usually there's a way you can get them to work with a lot of messing around. Even then, sometimes the performance can be trash.
But ya for most popular games it's hard to find ones that don't work. Unless they're using shitty anti cheat software.
Huh weird, that really doesn't match up with my experience in the past couple years. Everything I've tried has Just Worked™ I guess the games I play are usually not very graphic-intensive, that might account for it.
