Finally, chex quest HD
The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
Windows has finally been defeated.
Evil is no more.
Windows is kil
Linux is so much better than sex.
Can you compile sex from source? Ha, didn’t think so!

My favourite game Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation works again. Ciao!
Nobody using Windows is sad about this like the meme suggests however. Literally no one is “team windows” lol
Nobody is actively team windows, but they immediately become team windows as soon as you suggest they try Linux.
I thought proton is an email/vpn company, do they have a gaming client like steam?
This proton isn’t affiliated with the one you’re talking about. Proton is a tool that valve developed based on wine that lets windows games run on Linux, especially the steamdeck
I wish you answer me one more question. I bought games on steam that later found they’re “Windows only”. I can’t play these games on the steam I installed on my linux pc. I can only play them on the steam of my windows pc.
Can I play them on linux using Proton? If yes, then this might allow me remove windows from my life completely
Yep, even if the game is Windows only and you’re a Linux guy, you go into the Steam properties/settings for that game, click on the Compatibility tab, and then check the “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”. Chances are the game will work fine, but if it doesn’t you can try some other version of Proton. Alternatively, there is also Wine but I didn’t touch it yet and heard it’s a pain in the a**
Um, I tried Mint for gaming and while the community is strong on helping me figure out what was wrong with my video drivers and my Logitech steering wheel, i realized I could just not run Linux and spend the time actually playing my working game on Windows.
I’m not a Windows fanboy. The majority of people just want a turn key experience. Linux(for now) is not yet a trouble free experience.
what was your issue exactly ?
Wine is an awesome feat of engineering to be sure, but even the gold level compatibility Windows games dont always work out of the box on any linux distro without a bunch of tweaks, installation of drivers, windows DLLs etc etc. Its time consuming and people dont have time, thats a huge issue.
Another issue is when the inevitable distro update comes, you have a 50/50 chance of all those tweaks having to be done again (for each game) if something with the upgrade goes sideways. Even just updating wine itself can occasionally break things, and then you are back in the support forum looking for answers… for hours… instead of just playing the game. For slightly more advanced users I think Lutris is the way to go, you can configure the games yourself and launch them with various versions of wine or proton, and that seems to work pretty well in most cases.
The right answer is for game manufactures to make the games for Linux, so the right answer is to get Linux desktop market share up over 10%, thats the only way to force the issue.
Bro tried one distro and condemned the entire span of Linux systems. Aight.
You realise that having to try a whole bunch of other distros is so much worse compared to the “turn key experience” they’re after, right? And it’s a valid complaint. I generally agree with the sentiment, even though I’ve more or less sworn off Windows whenever I can possibly avoid it.
Honestly Proton is great but Windows for gaming is still the best of the three main oses
@thecookingsenpai @Titou Yet has to be said, I’ve been using linux for gaming for almost 2 years now, the amount of games you can play now compared to PlayOnLinux era is impressive.
I only run into issues when the game uses windows only anti-cheats, but I don’t have many of those games ( I said goodbye to League now that they are adding Vanguard ), therefor I can play fully on Linux.On this i completely agree (although 9 days later)
I’ve yet to find games I can’t play on Linux these days.
Game Pass
This is just as contrived and boring as the console wars
In my opinion not at all. Linux started as a project from a nerd and nerds around the world joined in. I know now a day’s a lot of companies contribute but what they contribute is open for the nerds to use. Unlike the console wars where it’s company vs company with fanboys picking sides.
Now it’s now neck beards vs industry and that’s way more interesting. I’m obviously picking the nerd/neck beard side cause fuck the big corp
Even worse, cause one side isn’t giving a fuck about it.
Like, which Windows user cares that Linux is getting Windows-emulated games? Literally no one. Let alone enough to cry about it.
Do you go to restaurants and complain there is food there? This is a place for linux memes.
Yeah! You’re cool cuz you don’t care about this stuff. And also people who do care about this stuff are less cool than you. Yeah!
