But that's the thing, pretty much all distros are the same when it comes to games. Steam manages dependencies and Proton versions for you, so your base OS really doesn't matter too much as long as some games launch (outside of weird exceptions like using some random tiling WM).
Yeah, people love to over-promise for some reason. People really should be pointing to options for users to check things before switching, such as:
In general, if it has anti-cheat, it probably won't work. If it doesn't, then you can try adjusting:
None of that is related to your distro though, so if people on ProtonDB say it should work with given Proton version and CLI parameters, it should work on whatever distro you choose.
I rarely play anti-cheat games, so most of my games work w/o any tweaks. If you mostly play anti-cheat games, most of your games probably won't work.
