Having the feature seems pretty in line with the general Linux philosophy. Let the user decide, even if that means they screw it up. Same reason you can muck up an install by just running updates on storage that doesn’t have enough room to do so. It’s up to the end user to understand, verify, and choose to execute.
I’ve been maining Linux for a couple years now on Nvidia and it’s… awesome. It is not the nightmare it used to be, assuming you use the Nvidia drivers. I’ve not found anything in my Steam library I can’t run. Same with Heroic.
I prefer CachyOS but Bazzite I’ve heard good things about as well. I’ve successfully used Fedora and a handful of others also (but I refuse to try Ubuntu - not a fan), so, pick your flavor and try it out.
Now it’s to the point where I rarely have to visit protonDB… most games just work (I use cachyos’ proton build as my default).
Give it a shot. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, CachyOS is very similar in that regard too. I I usually tell people to pick one, run with it, and remember they can always switch around as they learn (and want/need) more. Hell, feels like I switched every 3-6 months until I settled in lol
