Game Feels Native

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

I'll be honest, I thought this game was native to Linux until I checked ProtonDB. Also this tinker step of switching to experimental is not really a tinker step because I installed Proton Experimental as a default, I don't use any other versions.

Runs Natively

I typically use gamemoderun even though I didn't indicate that so this would not be flagged as tinkering. The reason is that gamemode prevents PC from going to sleep and monitors turning themselves off and I leave the game running to farm money sometimes.
