"their software work for Proton which lets almost all Windows games run on their OS..."

Only a small percentage run on Linux/Proton. Most games are greyed out if you look under library.

"It facilitates independent game development by the non-woke"

Thank you.

Go woke go broke utterly failed to materialize and be used against big tech and my grief over it has not really gone away.

I believe SteamOS is a version of Linux (meaning NOT MicroSoft or Apple).

"Half Life 3"

I STILL check up on that at least a few times a year (with disappointment). I DO have Half Life: Alyx though.. it is surprisingly good.

I have been playing ‘windows gAMES’ on linux lately usign steam and it’s ‘Proton’ system which is so far workign really well gettign older windows games to play on linux

Now, if i can get windows programs like photoshop, rebelle, onone, macrium reflect etc to work on linux? I will switch forever- windows is getting so onerous- so control freak-ish- AND, I’m abotu sick and tired of the cosntant BSOD’s with windows 11- Tried for 5 weeks to get the lousy os working on new computer- and finally gave up- went back to 10

lucky kids- make sure they don’t lose that privilege- we as kids were always outside- and became nature lovers (hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, farm work etc), and it kept us really fit and strong for a great many years-

[Bob434]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is out though-

[Bob434]

you can enable several different proton systems to try- soem games that were grayed out work when i got the right proton to work on them-

[steve86]

I did play with some of those a year ago. Was there one that seemed superior?

[steve86]

Reminds me I had Raceroom working a couple weeks ago but I think that was in a Windows 10 VM under OpenSUSE — not in Linux Steam directly.

[Bob434]

I was thinking of getting raceroom again. I racing got way way too expensive, even when buying during holiday sales. What a rip off iracing is. Plus they no longer worked with windows 7 which left me in the ,urch after having spent so much $$ on iracing - another good one is RFactor2 but mostly for racing agaisnt ai.

Thanks for the info—sounds promising.

[Bob434]

Sorry for the late rep.y. The top 2 were proton experimental, and proton hotfix, they have come a long way I guess. I even got dues ex, the original playing well on linux. (I like the original, with its crappy graphics and wonky game play better than the modern dues ex games- I think it’s nearly free now lol. I gotta get a bunch of the tomb raider remastered sames for my neice- she likes playing those better than the new tomb raider games.

I remeber when I could put game demos on a floppy drive lol. I used to go downtown to friends place to dload demos and put them on floppy disk, and try them out, then needed a cd, then a DVD, now need a whole hard drive for games almost-

steam Deck looks like a larger version of a Nintendo switch, bet they are not cheap.

[steve86]

Ok, I’ll try those Proton variations again. Think I used Flatpak to install them last time.

[Bob434]

you adjust it at the steam end- right click on a game you wanna modify with it, choose i think it is properties and choose compatibility i think, then choose the proton you wanna try- it iwll download it for your game-

[steve86]

That’s right, I remember now. I also experimented with external Protons somehow.
