• You must install from Linux, proton has no idea where all your DLL are from your other install.
• don't use NTFS in Linux if you can avoid it
• as others have said, open the hood and look at logs, errors, etc. Linux is open and free, but that comes with doing more yourself.

If you can't stop complaining about how "windows did this automatically, but Linux doesn't", maybe Linux isn't for you. No one is going to hold your hand and do the magic for you.
