From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I usually check the proton DB website, to read the comments and see what people do to fix games and software.
Just recently I used it to get old CAD software to run, had to lower the proton version to 6 or something and it worked.
from all the times i tried to use protondb for help, for me, i can count the times it actually did on one hand
