Yeah they probably do, most people just change proton version and quit after trying some common options. It is pretty unhelpful for non mainstream games. Proton isn't event the best option... You have to look more into wine to set the DLL, tools or dependency which are missing. For exemple most launcher just need the winhttp component and work well. But it is nearly never suggested. Some need to explicitly add a DLL and it's version but same, it is nearly never mentioned.

Edit: I spoke about steamdb not proton db, steam db have a package section which is really helpful to identify DLL.

Who are you trying to bs saying Wine will solve the issues? Wine app DB is a public thing, Winetricks use is assumed for most entries.

I’m done, bye.

I ma not telling it solved anything but you have to do research and learn how to use it, you missed the part I told that you have to tweak for some games. And I don't speak specifically about wine, there are proton ge or wine ge which are options too depending of the situation you have to use vanilla wine, proton, wine ge or protonge and have to change version, it is not user friendly but it work. I play on linux since years, and it may be 2-3 year since I wasn't able to run a game. For more user friendly option you have lutris games installer which work pretty well.

Sure, have a good day.
