Incidentally, my laptop runs Mint Debian and games in Steam mostly don't run. Am I supposed to go through 10 or more versions of Proton in the 'Compatibility" option? My laptop is a 12 year old i3 piece of crap so I only run very light games - if they would run. So many folks say everything works with Proton. How come I'm on a different planet to them? 🄓

@media_dept Most, if not all, of my problems with Steam are caused by memory size. It doesn't warn, it doesn't terminate gracefully, just freezes. I increased swap size two or three times the RAM and almost all games I am interested in are running. For the Proton, I let it to upgrade whenever a new package comes, that is all.
@media_dept I’ve had the same issue, I think the people who ā€œproton just works forā€ have way more RAM than I do (and probably just beefier computers in general)
