I think it includes experimental Wayland support, you can unset the DISPLAY environmental variable and it should try to use Wayland instead of xwayland. If you’re launching through Steam, you can do it via the launch options:

DISPLAY="" %command%

I’m waiting for this too, no HDR without it and gamescope and nvidia cards don’t play well.

Try proton-ge. It’s a build of proton with additional patches from the community.

You can use protonup-qt to install it (or protonup-rs for doing it via terminal/script)

When you run steam from the terminal, you want to use -d to get the debugging info:

steam -d

Wayland is at the point where I’d use it over x11 unless you’re having specific issues. It’s possibly different depending on your distro (like, if they’re using older versions), but it’s worth trying.

That being said, Wine/Proton run as x11 applications even in Wayland (using xwayland) so that likely won’t help with this problem.

There are community builds of proton that incorporates additional patch sets which may help. Proton-ge is one of the more popular ones.

Don’t worry about trying to figure out how to install it manually, you can use protonup-qt to download the version and install it into the right place. (or protonup-rs, if you want a command line version).

When you install the newest version (Currently GE-Proton9-27) you’ll have to restart Steam and then it’ll appear in the list alongside the Valve proton versions. Many of the nvidia-specific issues I have with proton are fixed with proton-ge (RTX3080)

e: oops, someone has already mentioned this.

The dentist slipped when pulling one of my non-impacted teeth and hit me in the back of the throat with his whole body weight. He prescribed me 10 days of hydrocodone and when I called back and said the default dose still left me with a sore throat he called me in another 10 days of a higher dose.

Needless to say, my throat didn’t hurt anymore and I played WoW a lot (~2007)

Also, Terminal User Interfaces are a nice middle ground between learning terminal commands and having a GUI.

Example:

btop - process manager TUI

ncmpcpp - TUI media player, used mpd on the backend
