Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I’m on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?

    While that’s absolutely true (and that method should work on other Linux devices too) it’s kind of a hassle when you have to change the exe path multiple times just to install the game and it’s dependencies like dx, visual c etc.

    I’d recommend that method only if you’re a purist (and a bit of a masochist :D ) and you want to keep the machine as bloat free as possible at any costs

      if you were a purist you wouldnt have steam tho and would just use wine from cli, no?
