They do that to help hide the fact that some feature get removed.
Which is why stamping them out sounds good. :)
I think you'd need i3 instead of Sway for an X11 test.
Cumulatively, no, they don't. But they still show people being wrong and needing to be stomped out of existence or whipped until they see the light. :)
Then please don't ask for help from anywhere outside of Steam support, and certainly never blame Linux for any issues you come up against with your non-native game(s). If you face any issues with your Windows game on Linux, that is not Linux's fault or problem.
It destroys any incentive for game houses to develop native Linux versions of their games, leaving Linux gaming in an permanent almost as good state, and prevents integrations with chat apps and so on. Why promote a poorer experience for users?
Please stay off the sidewalks.
Wow, got downvoted for giving practical diagnostic advice. Someone out there is a Proton fanboy who can't admit this is a valid thing to test to help finding root cause.
Does it fail in X11 as well?
Please try some Linux native games and see if they have the same issue. If not, it would be a WINE/Proton issue and then the problem would belong to them. If it happens on Linux native games, then it's a Linux issue.
This is the primary reason I dislike WINE/Proton... ambiguity as to whether it's the WINE/Proton compatibility layer or the Linux distro itself.
Which is also fine. None is better than tainting your Linux system with Windows software.
