Description
Proton 6.3-8 does not give any logs at all. I've tried with extra commands in steam;
PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and just PROTON_LOG=1
From terminal; PROTON_LOG=1 steam
And from a copied user_settings_sample.py in user_settings.py where I added;
"PROTON_LOG": "1",
"PROTON_LOG_DIR": "/home/myuser/STEAMLOGS",
I have an old log from way before with correct steam appid. But now, nothing.
PS. The new user_settings.py is the same as the sample, except for my addons.
PPS. An I've of course created the dir STEAMLOGS beforehand with my user.

Research direction
Start by comparing user_settings_sample.py with the reported user_settings.py and reproduce the launch variants using PROTON_LOG=1 and PROTON_LOG_DIR. Trace Proton's logging entry point to determine why no file is created; done means a reproducible configuration generates a log in the requested directory.
