I feel like the proton concerns are vastly exaggerated. It’s not at all complicated; it’s as simple as downloading it from the Steam Store or ProtonUp-QR and applying it to the game. But you’d think it’s something that’ll take hours to do, based on how people talk about it. In reality, it doesn’t even take more than 50 seconds to download a version and apply it to a game. You don’t even need 30+ versions, either. You could literally run 1-3 versions across all your games
All you really need to do is go into game properties, compatibility, then select from the list of what’s available. And you could download more versions if you want. And that’s it. Its not a long process
