Black Mesa
Running Black Mesa using Proton is a lot better than the native option. It has better performance and video settings can be fully changed.

After the initial slowness loading into a map it becomes more playable albeit with constant microstutters

Constant microstutters. Very laggy for first few minutes loading into a map. Randomly freezes for several seconds

Vulkan did not work with proton 5.x and resulted in a black screen. Switching to proton 6.3-3 allowed vulkan to run.

Performance is pretty good, with minor stuttering but an overall smooth experience. I used https://github.com/gurrgur/er-patcher to unlock the framerate
