Most of my steam library works, either native or via proton (happens automatically)

It should be noted that games that arent verified with proton won’t work until you change a steam setting that enables using compatibility tools on all games. You can also set this per game.

Anyone getting Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to work now? What version do you launch? I’ve followed a couple of guides but it just crashes when I press Play. Using the one that requires a purchase on the Google play store. Needs to be bedrock to multiplayer with Android.

As I know windows edition (bedrock for pc) have many protection systems and dependencies on spyware apps, so you can run it only on windows. But I’m want to believe I’m wrong

These days there are games and launchers to avoid instead of choose, giving you a wide pool of selection. Just pick whatever you want to play and check these 2 sites: protondb.com (for Steam games) areweanticheatyet.com (for multiplayer games)

I’m a multiplayer guy so I’m playing dota 2 and guild wars 2. But any valve game (portal, half life 2, tf2, counter strike) .
Other games that I played previously and can recommend:
Factorio, chivalry 2, Elite Dangerous, Truck simulators, Grim Dawn, Horizon zero dawn, Kingdom come.
For more, look into www.protondb.com

I am actively playing Warframe, Planetside 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Darktide, Elden Ring, Team Fortress 2, and Minecraft (through Prism launcher flatpak)

The only game that does not work that i wish did is Vermintide 2.

Pretty much any game that doesn’t have intrusive anti-cheat software will run these days. Just install Steam and start playing.

*And enable Steam Play in the settings

Diplomjodler , 10 months ago

What settings are these? Have i missed something?

H2207 , 10 months ago

In the Steam settings, to use Proton you need to enable it in the “Steam Play” section. Doing this will enable the Proton translation layer and allow you to play (most) Windough$ games on Linux

I usually use Proton Experimental in the dropdown since it seems pretty stable and keeps it up-to-date.

Diplomjodler , 10 months ago

Oh that one. Yeah, I got that. Just thought there was something in the OS settings I’d missed.

I just finished Sekiro, worked flawlessly. Currently replaying Hades without issue. I’ve been gaming on PopOS with an 3080 for at least 18 months and its my only workstation. I don’t even have a dualboot to Windows

colonial , 10 months ago

Almost any game will work under Proton. If you want to be sure, check ProtonDB before you buy.

The main exceptions are competitive multiplayer games (like Valorant) that use rootkit anticheat software, but that’s probably for the best.

Honestly once I realized Factorio works there really just isn’t time for anything else!

You should be asking what games don’t work on Linux at this point. I’m not even joking.

boldfilter , 10 months ago

I play all my game thru steam proton or lutris

CrossCode and Cave Story+ work on Linux.

Hyrulian , 10 months ago

I would highly recommend not buying the Steam version of Cave Story and instead downloading the open source Cave Story NX off of FlatHub and other such repos. Cave Story+ on Steam has been abandoned by the developers and they stopped updating it despite releasing countless better versions on other platforms. Definitely not worth paying for an inferior version, but if you have to play on PC you’re better off playing this updated version of the original.
