Well, with regard to the whole "Proton outside of Steam" controversy, it's not hard to do it safely outside of Steam to avoid breaking things. As far as WineGE goes, I have a couple of games in Heroic that will not work with it, but they'll run really well with Proton. So, there's some little difference between them that is haunting my games library. Anyway, my point was to emphasize more the fact that there are options, which is the beauty of using Linux. You have a whole bunch of ways to do something. If you look up stuff, you can even figure out how to do things you're not supposed to do safely. It's your guide, and it's darn good as it stands. I think my way of lowering expectations is different from yours, it's all about life experience. I'm more like, "lower people's expectations letting them know that they might have to try different things and spend time on it, things might not work on the first try with the first method they use." I recall, a few years ago, fighting with a windows game for weeks to get it to work in Linux. Things have improved remarkably since then. If, in general, you're noticing you have lower performance on your games, you can probably fix those issues. My system has zero performance problems with windows games, they all work the same or better than on Windows. I have old games, new games, brand-new games, and middle-aged games. They're all smooth sailing or a little better. So, keep learning and keep up the good work on your blog! It's a never-ending learning experience with this stuff. I've learned that I'm never going to buy a game from Epic ever again. I have four games on Heroic. That's enough hassle for me! I don't think I even want to bother with the free ones anymore.
