Are there hardcore gamers there or is it mostly for coders?

Lots of people in this thread are talking about steam and proton, but what about games on other launchers? How easy is it to setup proton without steam at all? One-click setup or 3 hours of crawling through google results and debugging?

Depends on the game, honestly. DOS2? Install & run. The only game I really had trouble was Age of Wonders: Planetfall. AoW 4 works just fine, without any issues. You can also use proton for non-setup games, pick any runner you want in e.g. lutris. Or Heroic Launcher.
