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.

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

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

I agree a 100% and immensely faster to install.

I default to DODI but sadly this game wasn’t available from them. I’m still very new to Linux and this is my first foray into repacks on there so it is just a learning curve :)

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.
