I Linux noob. Be explicit and verbose in your questions/instructions. I have DayZ via Steam and have played on my current hardware in Windows. i'm completely 100% on Mint now. No going back. Anyways, DayZ launcher and directly running the client crash. When I look it up on Proton, they say DayZ just works. So why I crash? No idea. Help me find out?

Welcome. DayZ is listed as Gold on ProtonDB, which means good support, but not flawless. It is a good idea to look at the configurations of people who reported it running: https://www.protondb.com/app/221100
