I would assume something like Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty games as an example. I’m curious to use cases outside of (obvious) games. Is there any situation that is not possible to do on a Linux desktop, that requires to use Android or iOS app? Like banking, is there any bank that only offers a mobile app and nothing else? That’s the issue I have right now, finding a real use case where I have to use it (obviously there is none for me personally, so finding it wouldn’t make it a requirement for me).
What components do you mean in example? Game got a “Playable” rating on Steam and the user reports sits at “Gold” on https://www.protondb.com/app/3092660 , with lot of them using Proton GE or its even flawless (according to them). Did you try Proton GE as an alternative to Steam Proton?
Oh, its probably Proton then. There are or were number of games on Proton that were not playable because the videos didn’t work. It’s some sort of video driver issue or so. Depending on when you tried it, they might already updated it. There were number of fixes in recent months about video related issues.
If not a new normal Valve Proton version fix is, maybe the great alternative Proton GE could. In case if you find yourself trying it out again.
Great. Note looks like you are not familiar with GE? The installation is simple, just download the archive and unpack it under .local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d (or where your Steam is installed), so that you get something like .local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton11-6-x86_64. Just unpacking the archive basically installs it. Restarting Steam is enough. There are tools that manage these custom Proton versions. I leave you a few relevant links:
It has additional fixes to Proton and is often more up to date. Some launchers such as Heroic Launcher I think integrate it too, so its usable outside Steam. I linked a gui tool to manage that, but you don’t need a manager if you simply download and unpack the archive yourself.
Edit: And no I am not an Ai, lol I just noticed my reply sounded a bit robotic.

In my case it would be Reverse:1999, because Proton has issues with some components.

In-game videos and some blur effects don’t render. I did not have time to really investigate whether its Proton lacking or just NVIDIA sucking.

I think it is related to Unity and some addon. Thanks for the tip with GE. I will try it when I have a bit more time. The game is still installed.

Some banks will either refuse to run on a desktop browser or need 2FA auth on their app
I can tell you that at least for the Trade Republic bank you need the app to authenticate a browser session (what a shitshow)
