Just play steam games. Then it’s only 90 minutes every other night of troubleshooting
(Mostly satire, proton has gotten incredible. I still have a windows install on my PC for gaming but I honestly don’t know the last time I’ve had an issue on my steam deck)
looks at empty wallet after paying for rent and food for the month :P
Yeh proton is pretty good and I know things are way better than they ever were before but things still aren’t always simple for people with no experience of Linux :)
Tbh, the only problems I ever had with gaming on Linux was:
Nvidia driver bullshit
Couldn’t do multiplayer on one indie game
Gaming on Linux is like 98% of the way there imo. It was overall a good experience, and we’ve got plans to switch the big family gaming computer to Linux when MS starts pushing their live service windows 12 crap
I may have misunderstood, I was interpreting your comment to say that you were sticking with Windows — a paid commercial platform — while complaining about the cost of software.
Hi Hawke, I understand your fustration with needing to troubleshoot things. Steam allows you to import any exe as a ‘non-steam game’ to your library and run it with the proton compatability layer. I sometimes have success getting a GOG game installed by running the install exe through proton or wine. Make sure you are using the most up to date version of lutris many package managers are outdated flatpak will gaurentee its most up to date. Hope it all works out for you
Lol wut, my wallet is empty hence why I’m using repacks and my initial post was about the frustration of getting them to run on Linux… So what are you on about?
I default to DODI but sadly this game wasn’t available from them. I’m still very new to Linux and this is my first foray into repacks on there so it is just a learning curve :)

continues to choose a paid platform over an arguably-superior free alternative

I’ve got no problem myself, just pointing out that it’s silly for people to complain about price but then use a paid platform over a free one.

DODI repacks are generally better than FitGirl, on Linux
