Quoting: MohandevirIf Microsoft goes forward with this idea, all kernel level anticheats might become a thing of the past.

Unfortunately, it looks like this will go down the same path as when it happened years ago, where third party kernel rootkit authors will rightfully point out that Microsoft has an advantage if it kicks all other AV software off the kernel but its own.

Unless there's been developments on this that I missed?

Quoting: TactikalKittyHonest Question: Why would you not use anything other than the Proton Experimental? Is there any real world use case that I would want to use the stable or and older proton version vs the up to date Experimental?

I'm gonna say this as someone who actually ran Proton Experimental for months (and still do for certain games since they only work with them), it mostly won't matter, either Experimental will run that one game that Stable can't, or it'll be the same. But to make it clear: I play a wide range of games, old and recent, and I never had an issue due to a "regression" in Experimental.

I know this is all taboo talk, but this was just to honestly answer your question, based on actual real life experience.

Quoting: RevenantDakIf a game breaks, because of an update (eg. EA App), THEN you try the latest version. If that doesn't work, then you try Experimental or, if available, Hotfix.

For me, the opposite happens here, EA App doesn't work UNLESS I use Proton Experimental, at least that was the case 2 months ago across several days when I had to reinstall the damn launcher a dozen times before I figured this out, I don't want to "test" if the launcher now works with the regular Proton because I'm really done with troubleshooting that specific issue, it still works under Experimental, I don't care what I "should" and "shouldn't" do here, no offense.

I selected regular Proton as default for Steam now to make you all happy, it's probably no different and all games would work on either version, but for EA games I'm sticking with Experimental.

Quoting: dpanterDo not use Experimental as default or as a permanent choice. It cannot be overstated or repeated enough times. Come on people.

I think you left the part where you explain what's so bad about using the Experimental version as default :wink:.

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: PyrateThat's my preferred Proton version anyways .

You're a fan of the don't use this or it might kill you and everyone you know build?

Yes, and I never ran into an issue. Besides, it's the only Proton option that made the stupid EA launcher work for the games that require that to play.

I guess that means I can play Battlefront 2 from Epic? That'd be sick. Really great work from the Heroic team.

Quoting: RedWyvernThis as it's a layer-distro on top of the base Arch repos, though the tweaks made to the standard installation are significant if still reproducable on Arch.

Same with Nobara and Fedora really.
