  What are you using to get the window buttons in the panel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Xhitter policy just dropped⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  KDE Plasma? The top panel layout is very slick

  Thanks for the tip!

  I don’t know what those are, but I’ll look them up.

  The linux dependency thing was “Freedom Planet” , an indie retro sonic clone. It took me several minutes to figure out and manually install dependencies (which will remain if I remove the game) and even then I couldn’t get sound working.

  I shoved the windows binary into steam/proton and it worked like a charm

  Sure does, though I hope it keeps improving steadily. I’ve been donating to their patreon almost as long as it’s existed.

  For me, Lutris works about 50% of the time with no hassle. The other 50% of the time I get an error during installation that I can’t figure out, and I end up using steam or giving up.

  Recently it was Diablo 1 that I couldn’t get working on Lutris, but got working pretty quickly with steam

  Works with windows games but not linux native binaries.

  So yes, that’s exactly what I do for games that I own on GOG but not steam. I actually try lutris first, then steam if it doesn’t work.

  I’ve given up on GOG. No linux client means the whole process of installing/launching games is rather tedious. Also linux game dependencies can be annoying to resolve

  Steam on the other hand just handles everything. If it doesn’t work at first, it probably will with proton.

  I’d love to support an anti-DRM store, but it’s tough when there is so much friction when actually playing the games
