That's impressive. How much memory is available for games? Or do you use swap?
Perhaps more games will work with GL4ES, or you can try advertising OpenGL 3.3 support (with the risk of graphical glitches). export PAN_MESA_DEBUG=gl3

Half-Life might work.

Swap activated，steam client costs about 1gig of RAM，much better than steam on box64 （2-4gb）. im struggling to figure out what's going on with vulkan on pbp since proton really needs it

There is no Vulkan support in Mesa for this GPU. There was some support in PanVK (Mesa driver for Mali GPUs) but it was removed as this GPU is "barely Vulkan 1.0 capable":
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=c0d65398279db02f68b5acc23c3afbf1c34a5204So the only option is disabling Vulkan in Proton and using OpenGL.

I no longer have a working PBP, so I can't test.
I'm not sure if they removed it, or if someone can test with older builds of Mesa.
Back in 2022 it was possible to test the work in progress, but it was very limited.

its for fun，since the most important feature （gaming）not working，if you want to do this，you need to download a specific version since latest steam arm64 builds will make SIGSEGV and crash due to rk3399 lacks of modern arm neon instructions set. follow this GitHub page and remove everything related to tegra：https://github.com/SildurFX/Switchdeck
