I’d definitely recommend against using drivers downloaded from a website, on general principles.
custom kernels don’t work with the drivers from apt
Check if there’s a dkms version - I know that’s the way it’s set up on Arch, if using a non-standard kernel you install the kernel headers, and dkms lets you build just the module for your kernel.
I’m pretty sure it is a wrapper in the way it looks up game-specific information to apply specific tweaks to how the game is ran and how the prefix is set up… But it is also true that it does also include a modified version of wine, so the terminology is difficult to pin down.
That said, I don’t mean it in a disingenuous way, at least I don’t think it is such. I do believe valve is often attributed excessive credit for proton’s creation, but I don’t think they did anything wrong, much less “just nab it”. Open-source is open-source, and I’d imagine people who put work towards making wine viable are happy that Valve brought it to the mainstream.
also literally wrote proton
It’s getting weird how often I find myself saying this… But Valve mostly took already existing software and built a wrapper around it, integrated into their platform. I love what they did, but the credit for literally writing it goes to all the people who spent years building wine and related software.
You should probably start by washing your hands though, and maybe touching less grass
Hey, speak for me too
I can tell you that the attitude in Poland is along the lines of “we had a defensive pact, but when we actually got attacked, France just refused to come and help, then promptly surrendered”.
…Brave is just chromium by techbros, right?
Archlinux is good if you accept that you’ll need to spend time to learn it, and that those moments might be frequent and unavoidable early on. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to somebody who needs their computer to work, since a new user with no experience might find themselves breaking their boot images and spending hours trying to figure out how to fix their computer not booting.
So yeah, I think that’s an important caveat: if you don’t know Linux already, and you can’t afford to spend time learning and fixing your system, don’t use Arch.
One could argue that “based” covers this kind of inspiration 😉

I don’t think arch does much to make commandline easier to use it understand - instead I’d say it aims to teach you how to use it, because it might be easier than you realize, but importantly it tries to tell you why. Instead of just giving you the command to run, the wiki explains various details of software, and the manual installation process tells you which components you need without forcing a specific choice. As a result, hopefully after using arch you’ll know how your system works, how to tweak it, and how to fix issues - not necessarily by knowing how to fix each individual issue, but by understanding what parts of your system are responsible and where to look.
Since your issue is specifically wanting GUI, I’d recommend installing something like pufferpanel or pterodactyl/pelican, which give you a browser interface for running game servers. Pterodactyl/pelican is more popular, has more features and supports more games, while pufferpanel is simpler/lighter and easier to make your own templates for.
Please don’t fuck everyone who criticizes your food choices
I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but I do want to clarify - the drivers in the repository are still proprietary drivers from Nvidia, just tested and packaged by the distribution maintainers, dkms is just some magic that lets them work with arbitrary kernels with minimal compilation. Unless you’re using nouveau, which I don’t think is ready for most uses.
