The problem, IME, is that it's so unpredictable as to which games will work, and which wont. I've had games refuse to work that other people say work fine, and vice-versa. The driver/library dependency system for gaming on Linux is a mess, and I think this accurately reflects that.
Sure, some may work better or worse for you, but that's kind of the point.
- onli 10y agoI agree. It is very nice to buy on steam for that, where you can return the game easily. But it would be a lot nicer if just everything worked. The driver situation is getting better and better, I think Linux will arrive there. And I hope they find a good solution for the library dependencies, be it snap or static linking or whatever is out there.
- CaptSpify 10y ago> where you can return the game easily. Is this true now? It's been quite a few years since I've tried, but it was near impossible when I did. > The driver situation is getting better and better, I think Linux will arrive there. Agreed. It's not great now, but it is much better than it was 5-10 years ago
- onli 10y agoYes, they changed the system. Now you can return games in the first two weeks if not played more than two hours. See http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds.
