There's a missing implied knowledge they forgot to mention: ProtonDB tracks games on Steam. So it's 90% of windows games available on Steam (without a native Linux build)

    Strangely, the search page for ProtonDB shows the 'proton rating' for games which have a 'native but abandoned / broken' native Linux build, whereas the actual page for the game just shows 'native' and I can't see the button to show the rest of the information. I'm sure it used to be there; they've started hiding a lot of stuff in favour of making the 'steam deck' results more prominent. But in some cases, 'proton rating even with a native Linux build' is quite important.

    eg. Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising.

    • search page shows 'gold'
    • actual page says 'native', but 'loads of rendering issues, really slow, broken on multi-monitor setup, use proton instead'.

    Mark of the Ninja: Remastered:

    • search page says 'platinum'
    • actual page says 'native', but 'frequent deadlocking issues makes game unplayable, use proton instead'.
