Since ProtonDB is proprietary and also directly linked with Steam games instead of any game possible, I was looking around for open source alternatives to it. I found Are we anti cheat yet which is pretty cool but it’s limited just to the anti cheat working or not, and also PC Gaming wiki which is for all games but no longer for Linux compatibility in specific, so the answers are also much more vague.
Is there anything I haven’t discovered? It seems like there’s no good alternative to it currently, not even one that just lacks user input.
There is the Wine Application Database.
Yes this is what I was looking for, I suppose most of the ratings and workarounds here would probably also be usable with Proton
yes cause proton is based on wine
I don’t see how AreWeAntiCheatYet and PC Gaming Wiki are an alternative to ProtonDB. They all have a completely different purpose. If you are just looking for any kind of information, database or wiki about games, then have a look at following additional resources.
- WineHQ AppDB: https://appdb.winehq.org/
- Libre Game Wiki: https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page
- Strategy Wiki: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
- DoesitPlay: https://www.doesitplay.org/
- Can You RUN it: https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
- Steam Deck HQ: https://steamdeckhq.com/ (it also has a section about Nintendo reviews)
- ShareDeck https://sharedeck.games/
I don’t think that all of these are a replacement for ProtonDB and Open Source, but so aren’t your own examples either. I think there are interesting resources to consider visiting.
I was also wondering about this. Is there a website like protondb but to check how well games on Epic, GOG, EA, Xbox play on Linux ?
Does WineDB suit your needs?
