Gaming on Linux

ProtonDB

Find out how your Steam games run on Linux.

What is ProtonDB?

ProtonDB is a community website where players share how well their Steam games work on Linux. It can help you check your library before switching, or look up a game before buying it.

It’s separate from Valve and Proton. You don’t need to install anything to use it.

ProtonDB listing games with their Linux compatibility ratings.

What do the ratings mean?

  • Native: The game has a Linux version.
  • Platinum: Works without extra setup.
  • Gold: Works well after some setup changes.
  • Silver: Playable, but with some problems.
  • Bronze: Runs, but has serious problems.
  • Borked: Doesn’t work.

Check the recent reports

Search for your game, then read what other players have reported. A rating gives you a quick idea, but the reports explain any problems and the changes people made to get it working.

Look for recent reports from Linux PCs, especially ones with a graphics card similar to yours. Steam Deck results can be useful too, but your computer may behave differently.
