From the gamers nexus review the UX of this seems pretty atrocious currently. Pair that with proton being very hit or miss I think a regular pre built would still be better for someone who knows nothing about PCs/PC gaming.
I can't name a game I didn't get working with proton. The default option works probably 75% of the time, and if it doesn't, I change it to "proton experimental" and it works every time. I wouldn't call it "very" hit or miss.
I mean, it doesn't work for the games with kernel level anti-cheat, but that's an active decision on the part of those developers to not allow a growing market to play their games.
