Changing Proton version for performance?
(feddit.org)
Change proton versions for compatibility, not performance
I never notice a performance difference. Just that (for whatever reason) some versions are more stable with certain games
I put everything on Proton Experimental all the time, and only change to an older proton or GE if I'm having a specific compatibility issue.
Some versions can have an occasional boost or regression in performance, but if you’re going to swap, it’s for compatibility
Default unless it seems broken or protondb recommends otherwise
I mean if you really want to sure. But at that point just start looking into enabling various tweaks manually yourself.
