One reason I’ve been sticking with DDG is the amount of UI and feature customization it offers. Not just the number of settings but that they are sensible ones: it’s stuff I care about. They also have a privacy-friendly way to save and restore these settings.
Started playing Wildfrost, a deckbuilder with some unique mechanics. I slept on it for a long time because it had somewhat mixed reviews early on with some players complaining that it was too luck based or that it was too difficult to evaluate game state. To me this hasn’t been a problem and the game was a very pleasant surprise. Thankfully it doesn’t try to be a “better Slay the Spire” since nobody seems to get that right but goes on its own way. There is no mana system, instead you pay for cards with time: playing a card (usually) takes up your turn. Some of your cards will stay on the board and periodically trigger based on cooldowns and other triggers - and so do enemies. It’s all about timing, sequencing and positioning.
These mechanics make the game flow very smoothly and the turn puzzle is satisfying. The implementation and art are great too making it a very pleasant overall experience.
Sales numbers ($) by platform would be interesting to see too.
Correct, that’s what I meant to imply in the first part of my comment. When I research new games I do that from a web browser and that’s when I care about Proton status the most so this works great for that. It does not help when using the Steam client.
I tend to do my Steam shopping in the browser and I use the ProtonDB-Peek userscript. This gives a ProtonDB status badge in the right column under the review links.
Not sure what’s causing the UI issues but another way to go about this is to create a custom collection and configure your browser to use it. This way you can control what shows up in “recommended”. IIRC you have to use nightly, beta or a custom build like Fennec to allow using a custom collection.

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
I am only guessing and extrapolating based on how this usually goes:
While the Linux kernel usually maintains long term backward compatibility very well unfortunately the userspace (libraries) is a different story.
Looking at the game’s faq the main dependency seems to be SDL. There is no OpenGL or other 3D library requirement. It might also depend on which version was shipped on the CD according to the faq there was an earlier statically linked version (which I am guessing might be easier to get to run) and a later dynamically linked one.
