i was initially excited at the idea of running steam play for windows titles but there are major issues.
- steamos locks you down to titles that are pre-approved, such as doom
-- doom still runs with a wine mouse overlay bug that causes the cursor to freeze instantly on clicks.
trying to get around the lockdown, I decided to run steam in devuan with vulkan libraries and the beta client.
- titles like borderlands 2 run fine, as they are natively supported.
- titles such as fallout new vegas still freeze before load.
- doom now freezes at 99% load and does not progress, also requires the renderapi forced parameter for Vulkan.
its also worth mentioning that Valve assumes users outside the SteamOS arena are aware they need to install vulkan. they do a good job reminding users of package dependencies on first launch, however.
