I think it's more fun without flapping down, if you preemptively keep yourself low it's a lot less dependent on RNG than you'd think, my current PB is 28
(I positioned it as close to the wall as possible, ran and timed grab and got it after a few attempts, running it on linux through proton experimental although I doubt it matters, and on 144fps)
I'm on the exact same proton version on linux with an intel igpu and it works perfectly, maybe it's due to the mesa version (I'm on `23.3.1-1`)? Try the beta channel for steam os maybe it'll help
