Garuda is unfortunately far from the only distro where proton has not worked for whatever reason, so I do not think it is distro-specific. Basically, I have this really odd issue in steam where I can enable proton, install a game, and then can click play. After clicking play, however, I am told the game needs to update. Interestingly, this happens even on games that haven't been updated in many years. And, when I try to see the status of the update by clicking "View Updates", nothing happens, and there is no progress bar for the update at all. This is not the first time I have asked for help on this issue before (it is the first time I have tried asking for help on this forum), so I have a feeling the issue may not be able to be fixed, and I may be forced to install windows on my other SSD.
