Really regret I missed the talk on linux gaming. For what it's worth - I have 2 Windows games working apparently flawlessly under Steam/proton. These are: *"Space Engine"* and *"BeamNG.drive"* No muss, no fuss. This is on MX Linux, AMD Ryzen. and nVidia. MX Linux is a Debian distro.
In addition I have 3 other native linux games under Steam that also work fine. Really amazing, though, to have regular graphics intensive Microsoft games that just work under linux.
