If you already tried proton and it hasn’t worked for the games you want to play, you have my sympathies. However, if that’s not the case, I highly recommend trying it out.

I’ve been running Arch on my main PC for two years and, so far, Steam’s Proton has worked with every game I’ve tried it on.

If you need to install the game using a windows installer like a repack, wine seems to work for that. Then, as long as you can find the game’s exe, you can add it to steam and choose to have it run via proton. And after that it launches just like every other game would.

Even NVIDIAs raytracing has worked for me which is kind of an impressive feat considering how much of a pain NVIDIA graphics can be on Linux sometimes.
