Proton with what? Stable or experimental? DXVK or Wine3D? X11 or Wayland? Nvidia closed source or open source?

That's just what I came up with. There are probably a few more of these questions. Even Proton alone is not an easy target.

Especially if you want some low-level anticheat. And you know, if they have one platform that is easier to cheat, cheaters will all use that platform.

I don't know about you, but playing with tons of cheaters doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me.

Pick any Proton release you like. Support X11, Wayland will then probably work anyway unless people have nvidia gpus. Support DXVK and force people to use it.

If you support one way to run Proton you're already most of the way there. Besides that majority of games just work fine without any work whatsoever.

They should actually target Wayland. Since Wayland will be what supports HDR, VRR, and is what the Steam Deck and most distros use.

Seems like you didn't read my first comment that you replied to before.

But still, your view is totally fine for a little indie studio, but that doesn't work for a game with >200 mio players.
