Hello @arrowgent, the workaround you linked is legally problematic and has been removed.

There's already an issue open for this: #1464

Its just not directed specifically at the specific wording (eg black screen). I consider this a duplicate.

great thanks, but the issue is still open, and the problem continues

it will be frustrating for linux proton users to see this without knowing what the problem is and then accuse proton of being garbage and it doesnt work.

if we could find a FOSS method to fix this without "infringing microsoft's petty copyrights" that would be ideal...

thanks for the link
