May finally have to give up windows for good. I mean I haven't done any real work on windows since mac went to osx .. it's basically just a game console at this point anyways.
- mjevans 2y agoFor MOST of your gaming needs: https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/ Valve's done a LOT of good for moving the ball on Windows things just working (mostly) on Linux. Usually it's some form of DRM or video playback that doesn't work... for obvious reasons.

- chipsrafferty 2y agoExcept most games don't work perfectly on all Linux machines, so they are ignoring it to Linux users' detriment
- tapoxi 2y agoI finally started running Linux as my main (and only) OS after hating what Microsoft has done with 11. I'm not a Microsoft hater, and while I like Linux I'm not the type of person to play with new distros everyday or heavily customize my system. They finally did it. It works. I can just install Steam and play Hunt: Showdown and join a discord call. It's all I really wanted. In fact every game I want to play works out of the box, and there's dozens across various genres. For an example list: Guild Wars 2, Stellaris, Crusader Kings 3, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite are just some of the games I've been playing recently. Hunt recently shipped a major update and it broke Proton support. Within a day Valve fixed it and it now works fine.
- pjmlp 2y agoAs long as Valve keeps Proton running, Windows games are available, and game studios can keep pretending GNU/Linux is only relevant for game servers.
