Portal
Runs well on Linux with minor intermittent freeze issues. Enjoyable overall with a few stability quirks.
Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 8.0-5, Set launch options

Audio:Other
Random freezes with looping audio
Instability:Not Listed
When playing, the game sometimes freezes, causing the last audio fragment to loop repeatedly until it resolves or I press ESC. Sometimes the freeze is brief, but other times it continues indefinitely.
Portal is mostly smooth on Linux with Proton, but occasional freezes were faced, which interrupts gameplay. Overall, it's very playable with minimal issues.
