I’ve made the jump to Mint for my gaming PC. I work primarily on Ubuntu systems (cli, no gui) so it was a pretty simple choice. I installed GE proton, which fixed the lobby audio bug in phasmophobia, is there any reason I shouldn’t just use that version of proton for all steam games?
One other question, evolution looks pretty solid for mail, any reason I should look elsewhere?

Some proton versions are compatible with some games, or some versions of games. Use whatever works, but generally, the newer the Proton version, the better performance you’ll get out of a game. Check for compatibility notes and tricks per game here: https://www.protondb.com/
Evolution is fine. Thunderbird is fine. There’s a bunch of others as well. Use whatever you like!
I like Evolution too
If it works, it’s fine to use GE builds, but generally I just leave it on the default for Steam and only change it if I have a problem.
The reason is, different proton builds work better or worse for different games depending on the optimizations in that particular build and game. GE is pretty solid all around, but with some older games you may need to roll back or go to experimental for some others
