I'm making this because i don't use proton i use wine for my steam games. It's a slow process, but i have 100% control over the environment, and i can easily use winetricks or wine program.exe to install whatever i need. Where in proton, for those games that require extra tweaking can be a pain in the ass, those games are few. Still, enough to i always want to hang myself every time i have to deal with it. Two games that come to mind are resident evil revelations that need wmp9 and BLUE REFLECTION that require you to edit the dxvk.conf and install MF. And it is so much pain in proton since on some OS like ubuntu and popos steam make those prefix folders, so you can't always install in them. You just get Permission Denied. It took me two days to get BLUE REFLECTION on proton, but that was mainly because the info about installing MF was so bad i had to trail and error me through it.
That's why i use wine. It's so much easier to get the games to work, and yes, it takes a long time to set it up if you do like me that every game has its own wine folder, but i would rather do that and know the game works 100% of the time.
What about you? Why do you use what you use, and have you had any problem with proton that just pisses you off.
PS. here are the 2 guide i made how to install those two games.

This is on ubuntu 20.10, so depending on your OS, you may need to edit some of the info. Open the game the first time in proton 5.0, then close it again. To get the game to run first, you need a File in your main game folder called dxvk.conf In there, where you passed those two commands...
