Do you think valve hasn’t been investing a crazy amount in Linux gaming? Has any other person or company done more to make gaming better on the platform?
It’s not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn’t an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.
It’s impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.
Edit: I didn’t see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well…
I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don’t. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.
I’ve been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.
I never said that also. Just stating that valve did one thing good for Linux gamers and 1000 bad ones. Wine did only good.
What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) “one” good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?
of course i do im just not going to sit here and pretend that Steam hasn’t done a tremendous amount to make that accessible and easier. None of this is a dig on Wine I used it for years. idk why you’re coming off so aggressive about wine you need to chill
Downgrading might fix it but it can also create dependency issues for other packages, you could try it but I would recommend you first try flatpak version of steam. Don’t know if it will work but it’s better to try that one before downgrading a package.
Is this really that rare? Maybe it’s because I pretty much exclusively game on Linux but I feel like I see that message rather often.
On a side note I feel like Linux gamers could help each other out by mentioning how well the game works with Proton in their review. Also if there’s any tweaks you need to do like using a specific version or bugs you encountered.
It doesn’t need to effect the over all review. Good to know though.
Oh yeah I typically check there and the PCGamingWiki if I run into difficulties but it’s nice to not have to leave the Steam store page. Though admittedly I should probably check ProtonDB anyway in case an update caused a game to stop working with Proton.
i think it would be a good thing to also mention it on an normal steam review because that could mean that other user switch to linux that would have not because they think thair games don’t run on linux
Rasies hand. Finally jumping back into Linux after years of Windows. Didn’t really think of the gaming impact other than “so many games don’t work on Linux so I can’t use my main machine.” I’m lucky enough to have 3 computers currently even though 1 of them is a third gen i7 and the other I got for free out of the trash so it’s specs aren’t great either. Enoug for me to install Endeavor then Mint to see how it goes gaming on them.
@ono I thought protondb reports brought you closer to what you were looking for. IDK if sifting through uncurated steam reviews would be helpful without Steam first implementing such filters that would remove all other reviews.
Does it not let you input the fifth digit? Can you see the digits you input or are they replaced with asterisks or something so it’s not obvious if the software accepted the input.
I’d just try to input the code and let the installer switch me to the next input field automatically. That’s how it usually works.
But I solved the textbox issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with winetricks corefonts
Which would suggest that the limit is not given in number of characters, but text width, which would be such a strange decision, from a software development point of view.
Can you make it use a very narrow font and squeeze 6 characters in there? Just for the giggles.
Isn’t there a command you enter in the terminal or a steam launch option to force the steam survey to appear? I got it a few months a go but before that it was years back.
I highly recommend it! It can be really brutal but if you get a good run going it’s really satisfying. The depth the mechanics like wand building offer is amazing
I think it’s part of their style. A considerable portion of Apple owners use Apple products for the social look. I have heard many people say they like Apple because it’s the fancy luxurious phone/computer which makes the owner/user seem more fancy and cool. The blue bubble is a social indicator to them. Computer games are for nerds. I don’t agree with any of that, but I have known people that do.
Eh, I’ve known plenty of artsy people who use macOS who also play games, but they tend to play more casually. You don’t buy a Mac to play games, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like to play games.
