Not to ruin your productivity but it's actually insanely easy to install a bunch of old games on Linux these days. And plenty of new games run just fine thanks to the advances Valve has been making with Proton.
- samstave 3y agoI know - but its just another step of effort... top 100 games on some torrent sites tell the story of where games are landing https://i.imgur.com/1rT2wCL.png https://i.imgur.com/1rT2wCL.png EDIT: YOU REPLIERS ARE KILLING MY PREMISE! MAKING HARD TO NOT INSTALL GAMES ON MY LINUX DISTRO! So by making it "insanely easy" you are promoting why I dont want to install them!!! xo :-) Thanks for keeping the DNA of my comment alive!!!
- blibble 3y agoif you've bought it on steam it's exactly the same effort as windows double click to install, wait a few minutes for the download, press play and it launches as someone who grew up compiling different forks of wine with various patches to try to play half-life in the 2000s the improvement is quite incredible
- realusername 3y agoYou can just open it straight into steam with proton and that's it, there's no effort nowadays. And being old games, the compatibility might even be better than Windows 11...
