EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.
PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.
Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.
I’ve heard good things about Bazzite if that’s an option for you.
Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.
I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn’t Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can’t wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.
Day 1 title on Linux. Give it a go.
Helldivers 2 is reported to work on Linux. IIRC the anti-cheat only requires kernel level access on Windows and runs in userspace on Linux.
you don’t have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don’t are probably because of anti cheat which won’t be solved with steamOS.
Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.
Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.
I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.
I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.
Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you’re curious about and if I own it I’ll try it out.
My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.
Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.
Appreciate any testing you are able to do.
Just downloaded and played stardew for a few. Seems to work fine.
Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Stardew Valley have native Linux Support. For Stardew, even the third modding API works flawlessly for me.
For the other ones, they are reported to run well on protondb.com, which is a good place to check Linux support (not only for Steam games). The reports there usually also list, which proton version works well.
I appreciate the info!
