Valve continue pushing ahead with improvements to their Steam Play system with the most recent beta now being out for everyone.
Steam Play 3.7-7 is now the stable version, which includes:
- Improvements to alt-tab and fullscreen behaviour in many games.
- Fix mouse behaviour in some games and mice with high sample rates.
- Update DXVK to v0.80.
If it doesn't show up for you, restart Steam. Hopefully in future the stable updates won't require this, I imagine an improved update flow will be worked on eventually although it's not much hassle to quickly restart Steam.
Additionally, there's a very minor 3.7-8 beta available which only notes that it has "Minor compatibility fixes in preparation for future Proton versions.". While minor, the wording has piqued my interest to see what they're going to be doing.
Also, if you missed it, Valve recently expanded the whitelist too.

Proton has a feature I waited for several years in Wine: scaling a fullscreen game in a window fited to your desktop resolution, with ratio and with the ability to alt+tab, whatever the resolution it uses. Wine has not yet this feature even in staging hasn't it?

Funny thing is, lately I have been playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and it randomly crashes to the desktop more often than some of the Proton games. Not sure if I can fault Feral or the game itself or that I am running Debian testing. But playing games with Proton seem more stable than that one :p

One of the companies providing software for my former employer had a minor glitch in their application's update system about 3 years ago that resulted in patches not being properly advertised to Linux clients. Obviously they fixed it right away and promised it'll auto update for each instance next time it bootstraps itself during restart. I don't work there for over 2 years but last month when I talked to my former colleagues they didn't hide their jolly grins announcing none of the machines we used to support had a chance to download that update yet. Linux stability is a bitch when it comes to updates on restart. :D

Ha, yeah sort of helps if they're restarted...
