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?

I would try adding the game to Steam and using Proton that way

(In the Steam client) Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library > (Add the executable) > Select the game in your library > Properties > Compatibility > Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool > Select your preferred Proton version

Granted, I've only tried this with one game, but it worked like magic. Your mileage may vary.
