Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store

Proton’s help is anticheat

I was using linux before, I can use it after

And though I already said why I avoid it. It doesn’t adhere to Unix philosophy. Does it want to he a store? launcher? download manager? Mod repo? Community site? Chat program?

It should pick one and let someone else do another

I’ve been using Linux for approximately 20-25 years.

If we’re talking about what one thing steam does well? Gaming!

It handles dependencies, and it makes windows games transparent to Linux users (you don’t even know it’s being emulated). In fact, from my understanding, some games run better than in windows in some cases

If you’re using controllers, steam input also makes games a lot more playable.

If we’re talking about the Unix philosophy though, what one thing does the Linux kernel do?

The Unix philosophy better targets daemons then user facing apps. In fact, if you look at xorg/xfree, one could argue it is one thing. But if you break it down into a different perspective, it could mean many things

  Wine is not an Emulator

  haven’t had issues using ps4 controllers without Steam. I even use it in Runelite

  Be the kernel, it’s the only constant between separate deployments
