  Just play steam games. Then it’s only 90 minutes every other night of troubleshooting

  (Mostly satire, proton has gotten incredible. I still have a windows install on my PC for gaming but I honestly don’t know the last time I’ve had an issue on my steam deck)

    Yeh proton is pretty good and I know things are way better than they ever were before but things still aren’t always simple for people with no experience of Linux :)

      Tbh, the only problems I ever had with gaming on Linux was:

      • Nvidia driver bullshit
      • Couldn’t do multiplayer on one indie game

      Gaming on Linux is like 98% of the way there imo. It was overall a good experience, and we’ve got plans to switch the big family gaming computer to Linux when MS starts pushing their live service windows 12 bullshit.

        Hi Hawke, I understand your fustration with needing to troubleshoot things. Steam allows you to import any exe as a ‘non-steam game’ to your library and run it with the proton compatability layer. I sometimes have success getting a GOG game installed by running the install exe through proton or wine. Theres also some linux distros that come with proton installed. Hope it all works out for you

        I may have misunderstood, I was interpreting your comment to say that you were sticking with Windows — a paid commercial platform — while complaining about the cost of software.

        Lol wut, my wallet is empty hence why I’m using repacks and my initial post was about the frustration of getting them to run on Linux… So what are you on about?

  Oh no! Your pirated game isn’t working properly! Let’s blame the OS!

    When did I once “blame the OS”? Just because I am frustrated with not being able to get it running I never once said it was the fault of the OS. In fact the opposite, I care about continuing to use the OS and that is why I spent so long troubleshooting my issue…

      It was a sarcastic jab. I don’t agree with software piracy in general, that’s all.
