- dependenttypes 6y agoI think you mean wine. Honestly though, a lot of games are now native for linux. There are very few games that I need wine for nowadays (and there is no game that I want but can't play)
- Shared404 6y agoYes, wine underlies proton, but Proton makes it accessible for those who don't have the time/desire to debug games individually. Proton "Just Works(tm)", whereas vanilla Wine takes setup. > Honestly though, a lot of games are now native for linux. There are very few games that I need wine for nowadays (and there is no game that I want but can't play) I have to agree here. Almost every game I play can run natively.
- dependenttypes 6y agoIsn't Proton Steam-only? Plus there are quite a few other wine front-ends (playonlinux and lutris come to mind). Personally I had better luck fiddling with Wine than with Proton. (and by fiddling I mean "checking a few dlls in winetricks")
- Shared404 6y agoI don't remember for sure. It is it's own open source project however. I do use lutris as well, but mostly for emulators. > Personally I had better luck fiddling with Wine than with Proton. (and by fiddling I mean "checking a few dlls in winetricks") To each their own. Almost all of my Window's only games I have in my steam library and I've just been able to click install and play, so I haven't looked in depth at any of the other options yet.
- lmedinas 6y agoIt can run some games but it still has issues with multiplayer games mainly due to anti-cheating. Sadly Vulkan has not really took off as being a major multi platform graphics API which would be the right approach to bring more games to Linux.
- monadic2 6y agoTrue, but that's just a small subset of even PC gaming.
