Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn’t precisely say they’re starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    ran through proton

    See, this is after where most gaming folks hop off.

    In all fairness, if you just run Lutris (pre-installed on Bazzite), log into GOG from there and install and run the game through their wizard, it also “just works”.
    That might be easier for most.

      What you just said is so much more difficult than running games through proton isn’t it??

        For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.

        Although, I’m not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance. apt doesn’t list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally…

          You just go to steam settings > compat > enable for all games and then it just works for all games on steam

      Probably true, it depends. There are Steam folks and then there are GOG folks.

      I prefer GOG tbh because it’s DRM free, but for some games I still need Steam, unfortunately.
