What games have you played since then? For reference. I go check my most recent played game https://www.protondb.com/app/2009100 and I am not really convinced by the result. And the game I am going to play https://www.protondb.com/app/835960, very mixed results. Consider both are UE5 engine games. I will check back like in a year or 2 once UE5 games runs on proton smoothly I will switch.
Yeah I don't play any UE5 games. Although it looks like both of those you linked mostly work. If you're not willing to tweak your proton version or settings every once in a while then Linux probably isn't for you.
That's why I say maybe I need to give it a year then visit the protondb again. I am too lazy to tweak those per game or doing all the extra works(some people have their own Custom Proton??) just to play a game. It's also why sometimes I just buy games on console cause it's way easier to play game on it. (the suspend feature is a big win, I wish PC game has this as well. )
Custom proton usually means the glorious eggroll version, it's just a community maintained version you have to install on your own.
