That page describes how if you are using Ubuntu, you need to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, because Ubuntu doesn’t always have the latest drivers.
It says nothing about Proton only being supported on Ubuntu, its just telling you how to properly set up Proton, on Ubuntu, depending on your hardware.
I’m not arguing with anyone, I am correct, you are completely wrong.
Though I guess now I understand how you came to be misinformed:
Poor reading skills / lack of knowledge of some intermediate level tech vocab.
… It is describing an example use case of Proton, on Ubuntu.
A singular, example, use case.
It does not say anywhere that Proton only runs on Ubuntu.
I have run Proton, since version…6? 7?.. shit maybe all the way back to 5… on all the OS’s I listed earlier.
It works fine.
You’re the one who needs to learn how to read, like, entire sentences, not just keywords and then formulating assumptions in your head, and you also need to try and have some humility when exploring a subject you are clearly inexperienced in, otherwise you are not going to have a good time trying to learn and use linux.
Find the sentence where it says Proton only works or is supported on Ubuntu.
You can’t, because it does not exist on that page.
If you actually read that page, you’d realize that “Requirements” is a misnomer, or at least misleading, page title for what’s being described.
This article is more of a Troubleshooting page and how to resolve for your specific configuration.
There is not an Ubuntu official support requirement for Proton.
With SteamOS being Arch based, and Valve being a significant Proton contributer, if there were a specific OS requirement, it’d be Arch or AUR capable distro. But that’s obviously not the case.
You’re arguing against Steam themselves on this one

Again, not arguing with me, you’re arguing with Valve.
