Open 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/

- 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..
