Awesome if proton can make something like cyberpunk work on day 1, why not others? Why do they have to pretend theirs is some mythical special sauce unable to work on Linux ? That said, why don't these mmo games give a Linux mode ? Pubg for example has mobile app, a lite app and a desktop lite app based on mobile. They are the same but they are matched with similar people only. Apply the same here. Give Linux users o…

Why Stadia instead of e.g. Geforce Now? You can play your existing purchased library via other streaming platforms, and you can switch to playing them locally if you ever buy a gaming PC without having to repurchase them. With Stadia you're locked in to having to buy your games again if you ever want to play on a different platform. (not trying to criticize, just curious about the differences)
If they are like me, I've never even heard of Geforce prior to your comment ... but am very aware of Stadia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't have DRM or anti-cheat.
I was going to disagree with you because I only read a headline and moved on, but it appears that only the Review copies of the game were protected by anti-cheat[0]. [0]: https://torrentfreak.com/cyberpunk-2077s-use-of-denuvo-to-pr...

Bingo! What on earth is that
Not quite. I tested this and it crashed about 15 minutes in. Also there are graphical errors like missing faces, no sound, T-posing NPC's, etc. I'm using both the latest stable Proton and Experimental.
This is a person running the game on Linux, on an NVIDIA card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBH0iY-Jx6U According to the video description the low framerate is due to the streamer OBS setup rather than game performance. Some people report that the game works better with the 455 version of the NVIDIA driver.
I can't launch Steam with 455.
I couldn't run steam after upgrading to 455, and noticed it was because CUDA and some other unofficial display driver PPA in my sources.list was blocking simultaneous 64bit and 32bit install. After removing those, I could install the package again.

This does seem to be the problem. Stadia is basically the worst game streaming service, but they make up for it in marketing budget and googles existing name recognition. Unless I'm missing something - which is why I was asking the question.
You can buy games and just play them, 1080p60 on hardware you never have to pay for.
Or pay Pro and get 4K, HDR, 5.1 surround sound. Which actually works great.
Stadia has a ton of hate from the gaming community it seems though, articles came out the first few months bashing it but I've had at worst visual hiccups on a wireless mesh network...

The launch build of Cyberpunk is still very buggy, in some cases Proton may be accurately reproducing bugs that would have happened anyway on Windows.
