    Well I was playing starfield when considering dabbling in running Linux and I got shy reading how to run it on Linux, let alone any of my other games.

      If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It’s still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

        I have AMD… Maybe I should dabble in Linux. Lemmy is challenging a lot of my software beliefs. Especially now my opinion on Google. I need to get off it and use Firefox but I’m just so integrated with Google.

          It really is a pretty stark change from when I last had a gaming machine. I’ve been using Linux exclusively for more than a decade. I got a Steam Deck earlier this year to do some PC gaming and, with Proton, nearly everything has been a single click. No winetricks or anything else. The only exceptions that I’ve found have been old games and those are just handled by Heroic Launcher, without any bother (and given a shortcut in Steam).
