Haha I know what you mean. I’ve had some good sessions but generally speaking, I suck at it.

Try Counter-Strike: Source. A bit older but it’s still quite active, runs flawlessly on Linux and is just a load of fun.

More like the Fediverse at large has an issue with people who feel the need to make everything political and if you disagree, they act as if you’re worse than combover mustache man.

I’m here to chat about stuff I like but sadly, I still run into BS politics.

Are you genuinely asking or trying to start an argument? I only ask because that has been a common experience for me on the Fediverse.

Others have listed ProtonDB, which is an absolute necessity. Tweaking Proton versions and the like can be tricky but not too bad, especially if you’re used to using a PC.

There are also tools like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher for third-party titles and further Proton support.

Oh, and there are also community-made custom Proton versions, such as ProtonGE, which can help if a game is giving you a lot of trouble.

Nice thing about having a dual boot setup is that you can play most of your games on Linux, and then just boot into Windows to play live service games with kernel anticheat. Best of both worlds!

That’s one of many. They claim “no political mods” but only actually take action against political mods of a certain worldview unless there’s enough backlash. I’m down for the “no political mods” policy but it has to be enforced equally.

Hopefully somebody forks it for platforms such as DEG. Vortex is the only objectively good thing that Nexus has done in recent years. Otherwise, I can’t stand those guys. From banning people for asking for a very simple feature that they end up adding a month later, to their more recent issues with censorship, they are not a good platform. The problem is that they’re very easy to use, which makes it harder to move away.

I never could get OpenRGB to work on Windows (it’d crash as soon as I launched it and I couldn’t find a solution). I’ll try it when I switch to Linux later this year and see if it works better for me then.

You CAN but it’s a matter of time before you’ll have to upgrade to 11 or go 100% Linux because drivers and game clients eventually stop supporting EoL operating systems.

Native Linux support is always preferable if the developer can handle it or has the budget to do so. However, as long as it works well via Proton, that’s the important part. I don’t follow him anymore due to several reasons but Gardiner Bryant has a video about this, it’s a pretty solid watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uScsmjvdwyo
