video games :(
- midasuni 5y agoI wish I had time to play, but transport fever, civ 6 and KSP all seem to work just fine every few months when I get a few hours.
- _xy8h 5y agoProton. Play on Linux. Lutris.
- beefjerkins 5y agoYeah, gaming on Linux has seriously come a long way thanks to the efforts of Valve and the wider community. My main issue with gaming on linux is cloud saves; while it generally will work with Steam, other platforms like GoG have no such capacity, and it's a real drag compared to Windows.
- mmcdermott 5y agoI recently set up Game Backup Monitor (http://mikemaximus.github.io/gbm-web/linux.html http://mikemaximus.github.io/gbm-web/linux.html) for GOG games. The backup location is in OneDrive. I do have to import the backup manually, but the combination eases the pain.

- mmcdermott 5y agoOpen source game development remains light, but Wine works better now than at any time in the past. I installed a game that had a Linux release that blew up on ALSA libraries. The ultimate fix was to install the Windows version over Wine.
- gigglesupstairs 5y agoDoes Steam work in Wine?
- sjustinas 5y agoThe Steam client works natively on Linux. It ships its own version of Wine, called Proton and many games work well. They are doing lots of work to get the remaining games working in preparation for the launch of Steam Deck. https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/
- KptMarchewa 5y agoIs it still 32bit?
- TingPing 5y agoYes, same as on Windows.
- Mikeb85 5y agoSteam Proton is the way to do it now.
- techrat 5y agoFrom my experience: Linux > Steam > Proton > Windows Game works better than Linux > Wine > Steam > Windows Game There's really no reason to be running Steam in Wine when Steam runs natively within Linux and Proton does the work for you for each individual game.
- dormento 5y agoI can vouch for Proton. In some games, I can even get more FPS running on Proton/Vulcan DX emulation than natively on windows. One such example is Path of Exile. I should totally NOT be playing this game..
