In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.
Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.
Gaben, throw us a bone here pls.
I don't even have Steam on my Windows install as all my games work fine on Linux. Honestly I should probably just uninstall Windows at this point, I don't think I've used it in months.
And even if you'd use it, everything I know off - except games - run fine in a VM.
I still have Windows but haven't logged in in over a year. I use Bottles for all non-Steam apps.
Does Bottles work well with, say, Photoshop or Autodesk Fusion?
As a fairly new Linux user, I haven't managed to run a single program through bottles. Just never works for me. Luckily I could get by so far with proton and auto generated lutris entries, but especially the latter I wasn't able to configure manually either.
Good luck with all the updates flooding in.
Could be worse. It could be the other way round with an Arch install.
Darn it, phone keyboard strikes again. :)
8Vim keyboard.
I use it when I'm drunk or in a bumpy car ride.
thats how i noticed i could move it into a VM for the odd thing or two i would use it for every once in a blood moon
