protondb.com will tell you how well an individual game will play, as well as any tinkering steps you might have to use (in the comments)

Would it be possible to use something else, like Bazzite or Nobara? Serious question, idk if it has some sort of mechanism that would prevent this sort of thing.
Nah, open-source that shizz
Not with that attitude
Q4OS has an installer like that, but you have to change the boot order after installation, I don't think it uses grub.
I should have just used AI lol
I totally thought it was gonna be Greg Abbott but with tank treads instead of a wheelchair
Bazzite, it's an immutable Fedora-based distro, so in the unlikely event that it breaks, you can just revert back to whatever you had before.
Nobara is similar, Fedora-based but not immutable, which means you can tinker with it, but possibly also break it. Made by Glorious Eggroll, the guy behind the GE versions of proton and wine.
Mint is a more general-purpose distro, based on Ubuntu (which itself is based on Debian), but it's very user-friendly and does just fine with games.
Manjaro is fine, it's the one I put on my mom's computer because she needed a Windows program that I found in the AUR. It was pretty decent for the four games that she plays lol (The Sims 4, AoE2, Neverwinter Nights, and Prince of Qin). It's Arch-based, but not bleeding-edge like Arch, so it's ostensibly more stable.
As far as the Index goes, idk about that, as I don't own one. However, I just DDG'd "valve index on linux", and quite a few guides came up, so it shouldn't be too hard to get it going. Plus Valve is a pretty Linux-friendly company,
