Before EGS rolled around, Linux momentum on getting games support was amazing. Steam lets you run the vast majority of games on Linux now.
- u10 6y agoSure, but that's not first class support. It requires a compatibility layer called Proton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)). Most developers will not spend time on supporting Linux natively. It's a shame, but that's the economic of it.
