As someone who hasn’t yet migrated their gaming PC to linux, does this mean that third-party games imported into steam should work automatically? No flags or config adjustments?
If so, will it choose specific Proton versions for known games or pick a default (latest, I presume) version for all of them?
Right now, all you have to do is go to the settings of your non-steam game, go to compatibility, and choose a Proton version. I’m not sure if this change will automate it, but it’s pretty much as easy as it can be already.

If that’s really all there is to it at the moment, sounds great! The other obstacles are my nvidia graphics card, and HDR support…
I’ve had good experiences with my Nvidia card on Aurora (same basis as e.g. Bazzite), but HDR is indeed still an issue.
I haven’t had any issues with my 3070, and HDR works fine on kde-arch
i feel like desktop nvidia cards are ok, laptop nvidia cards are a nightmare because of the weird igpu/dgpu shit under the hood
That’s why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.
Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren’t setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It’s horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.
And the battery life is ridiculous.
You can just add them and start them. If it doesnt work immediately, you can look at protondb which solution works best.
