  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.

    continues to choose a paid platform over an arguably-superior free alternative

      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’ve got no problem myself, just pointing out that it’s silly for people to complain about price but then use a paid platform over a free one.

      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?

        DODI repacks are generally better than FitGirl, on Linux
