So for background info, I daily drive Arch for everything BUT my gaming, for that I virtualize windows 10 with QEMU GPU pass-through and it runs really well and serves my needs perfectly. Recently however I picked up a steam deck and have been playing all sorts of games natively on Linux with proton or maybe proton GE. By a WIDE margin, more games work than don't; However the only game I haven't gotten to work completely has been fortnite but even then I'm able to get into a lobby and run around before crashing. Now back to the title, what games have y'all not been able to get running on linux? because as my experience stands now, I'm very tempted to make the full dive and wanted to get the experience of other community members! also please do tell what distro you're rocking, Im always curious about that kind of stuff.

That’s a solid setup you’ve got, and it’s cool to see how far Linux gaming has come with Proton and Proton GE. For me, I usually test light adventure platformers, and one that comes to mind is Super Bear Adventure Mod APK. https://superbearadvapk.com/ Since it’s not a heavy title, it runs smoothly on most devices without needing complex tweaks. It’s obviously not as demanding as something like Fortnite, but it shows how fun and stable platform games can be on different setups. Curious if anyone else here has tried similar casual 3D adventure games on Linux?
