1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I'm switching over.

    [–] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    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.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    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.

    [–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago

    Just downloaded and played stardew for a few. Seems to work fine.

    [–] crater2150@feddit.org 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 23 hours ago

    I appreciate the info!

    [–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

    I own Stardew. Ill check out the others and see if I'd like to buy them. I'll do the testing after i get off work tonight and let you know.

    Off the top of my head all but STO will work no issue

    ProtonDB says STO is gold rates, but you gotta use the experimental branch. Otherwise, will work pretty flawlessly

    PROTONDB is gonna be a great resource: it'll tell you how playable any game is right now using Proton (you can force non steam games to run proton ezpz by launching through steam)

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago

    Interesting. I may have to start switching over, then.

    [–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

    Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

    https://www.protondb.com/

    I haven't had any issues with any of my games.

    For anything not on steam, there's bottles or lutris, both of which work amazingly well.

    There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you're holding out until it's perfect then you'll be waiting forever!

    The only game I have not been able to get running via steam/proton has been pubg.
