    Valve has allowed me to play almost every game I own on Linux without any setup or trouble. Epic has kept me from legally playing games this way through their exclusivity. I’ll never open an account there.

      Yep, I am a Linux user and a Linux gamer, Tim Sweeney being a huge dick about Linux gaming while Valve has done a ton to help definitely is the main reason.

      I am embarrassed though, I got so tired of still fighting with Linux gaming that I built a hypervisor and I run windows as a vm to game 😞.

        I mean, you probably take a performance hit vs. Proton, but it’s still a valid way of making it work.

          I got GPU passthrough working and bought beefy hardware so it feels nice and smooth :)

          It was worth it though to be able to play with my windows friends without telling them I’d try to make it run on proton
