unless you're trying to get a programming running that wasn't built for Linux

That's exactly what people do. Everything we use was made for windows. Games. Editing software.

I have all my windows programs added as non-steam games and havent had a problem with it. Some games with anticheat dont work, but I dont play those anyways. My entire steam library just works with at most an added launch option in terms of tinkering.

Unfortunately i think steam removed support for team fortress 2 on Linux a long time ago. I didn't stay long on Linux. I mean i use headless ubuntu and debian for a bunch of projects but not on my desktop.

What do you mean? I played TF2 yesterday, proton has been a massive game changer for gaming on Linux. Most games without official support still work and run perfectly, the main things that hinder it now is anti cheat since some anti cheat is built around monitoring the entire system and intentionally only works on windows

Ah really? I just be mixing up with Rust. If tf2 is playable on Linux i might give it another try then
