Actual state: Main screen is loading, short after that, when starting a "New Game", the loading screen freeze.
Proton Experimental is suggested by most of #protondb user.
Will try to play around with the settings the next days.

I just contributed my first review to #ProtonDB because I had to fix two minor issues, including fixing a fix of someone else (with a little help from my programmer boyfriend).

One of my 2025 new year's resolutions is trying to move away from Windows 10 for gaming (as it's supposed to lose support later this year).

So far, I'm amazed at what already works, how many games in my library, especially the ones I cherish, are already natively supported on Linux, how many games just effortlessly run on Linux without native support and how much fun it can be to fix the ones that don't and sharing your findings with the community (similar vibe as contributing to OSM).

You're facing new compromises, that's for sure, but Windows had so many compromises and we learned to sail around them. And now the compromises just stack up so much, I'd rather re-learn a few things, become more independent and help other people, with even less technical knowledge than I have, to do the same.
