Microsoft is doing an amazing job ~~keeping me off~~ selling windows 11!

Keep up the great work!

Guess it's time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

I game on Linux. Go check protondb for compatibility with your favourite game

give up gaming

What? Most games run better on Linux

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but I'm a weirdo that actually likes early access games and random indie stuff that rarely works with Linux so a large part of what I like won't work.

Also star citizen... lol

That's more of a you problem.

With Proton, a large majority of games run on Linux, and most even better than on windows.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is proton the distro or program?

[–] Womble@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Proton is steam's version of wine which is used automatically when you install any game that doesnt have a specific linux version.

I'm gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.

I switched to Linux last week and I haven't had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don't provide it themselves.
