      Proton is steam’s compatibility tool, these “medals” basically indicate how well a game works through it. Platnium and gold mean work without troubleshooting. Silver means a little tinkering with settings. Bronze means it can work with effort, and borked means it just doesn’t work.

      So, 84% working with 0 effort, and 11% working with light tinkering.

      The post is kind of incomprehensible if you’re not already familiar with proton and the troubleshooting website proton DB.

        It’s also not a great metric if you don’t know what games the dude regularly buys especially if they’re already a*nix user

          i mean, basically everything works so long as it doesn’t use certain anti cheat systems. But knowing what they play would have been more useful for the sake of discussion.

            I dunno, I haven’t been able to get Subnautica to work for some reason. It’s likely due to the games own spaghetti code barely being functional on the intended OS’s as is…

            But it’s a bummer nontheless.

            Same goes for XCOM.
