    The first game mentioned was Bille Bust Up. I liked the demo that was off of Steam (and it ran fine using the proton-call command), so I subscribed to the developer’s Patreon (which gives a Steam key) and it wouldn’t use my dgpu.

    The second game was A Hat in Time.

      Nvidia laptop by the sounds of it?

      Anything with an AMD GPU is going to have a better time (or even just a dedicated Nvidia GPU in a desktop).

      Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry to hear you had trouble. Both games are rated as gold on ProtonDB. So, I am surprised you had trouble with them.

      My experience has been the opposite. Everything has worked surprisingly well. Do you by chance use an Nvidia gpu?

        Yep, Nvidia gpu. At the time I bought it I wasn’t aware of their reputation for Linux support, and I bought my laptop from System76 (with Pop!_OS, because Nvidia drivers are more “just works” on it). I’ve had a fairly good experience with all of it, but the next computer I buy will definitely have an AMD GPU.

        I think this is the first time I’ve been fully unable to get the dgpu working. Every other time it’s just worked or worked with tweaking
