With steam on Linux, I can happily play Bioshock Infinite, but not Bioshock 1 or 2. I can play The Witcher 2, but not The Witcher 1 or 3. I tend to play open-world RPGs, so one of my pet peeves is not being able to play any of the Elder Scrolls games on Linux. Without frequent crashes, I mean.

Have you tried OpenMW?

Yes, it freezes or crashes every 10-15 minutes for me.

Your experience is different from mine. I have played the witcher 1, 2 and 3, and skyrim, oblivion and morrowind on proton without much crash. In fact, I never encountered any crash when playing the witcher 1, 2 and 3 under proton. Elder scroll and fallout games are sometimes crashy, but they're no more crashy than on windows and console.

The Witcher 2 and Bioshock Infinite never crashed in my setup, and I played them for hours a day last year! I'll have to try again with the others, they're the only reason I double boot to Windows.
I played Witcher 3 on Linux yesterday evening, it runs perfectly and it's listed as Platinum on Protondb (to be back on topic). I haven't played Bioshock in a while but according to reports it should work well,as with the Elder Scroll games.
