As usual, too late. I see they have already helped you. I'll just add from myself that you can experiment once you feel more confident. Different versions of proton - Steam beta or regular. You can find everything in our earlier posts. Just remember that everything depends on your hardware. My hardware I play on: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Asus RX 6600 16GB ram ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl RADV_PERFTEST=nggc DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -provider Portal gamemode and vkbasalt must be installed before use.

I think Pop OS is more optimized for using the system as a desktop (for gaming) without user integration. In fact, that would even be my suggestion for anyone starting out with the idea of gaming on Linux to start with Pop OS. As for Steam and other disk locations I have read that sometimes there can be a problem if you are using a game that is on an NTFS (windows) disk I don't know why. You can also copy a game from windows to a steam location on Linux. You need to use the shortcut Ctrl + H to see hidden files in the manager. The path to the location of the games in steam (home/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Guild Wars 2. This is where you copy all the games from some large drive so you don't download them every time. If you don't already have a location after a new installation just download some small game to have steam create the files. My GW2 launch path ( RADV_PERFTEST=gpl RADV_PERFTEST=nggc DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -provider Portal ). I am using proton GE 7_53 on wayland. Proton GE_7_43 also works well on older hardware. RADV_PERFTEST=nggc - applies to RX 6000 up cards. My hardware is not very powerful but GW2 runs great for me Ryzen 5600x and RX 6600 - no complaints. Here's a link to an interesting video about Pop OS:

I used Nobara 36 before and had a similar situation. One of the updates broke GW2, it stopped launching. In Nobara's package manager you need to downgrade the Vulkan version. After this procedure GW2 worked again. I hope this helps you if you want to go back to Noabra. Personally I use Open SuSE Tumbleweed, I will try Debian once they release Bookworm. My graphics card did not like the previous Debian release RX 6600.
