I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

True I just moved my gaming PC to Linux and wow!! Almost all of my games run on Linux. Thank you for everyone working so hard.

This is the main reason, other than gog's lack of support, for not going full Linux.

You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.

Also Lutris. I haven't actually tried Heroic so I don't know how they compare, but Lutris is a pretty good launcher.

I buy mostly GOG games (like 90%) and with Heroic it's quite easy.

But it's not as good as simply using steam

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Nope, not yet. But it's getting there. And at least for me it's worth it.

Also thank Valve and buy a Valve game.

Honestly, if you have the extra money, buy it. It's just a great device.
