Hi everyone, I just finished writing a guide on everything you need to know in order to game on Linux. It covers Proton (Steam play), using Heroic Launcher (with Wine-GE), and all sorts of tidbits and tips I wish people had told me earlier. I hope this can be useful to someone out there!

I really like this post. While I'm a self-proclaimed tinkerer, running window managers, Arch and NixOS, I never really understood gaming on Linux: it jusy went over my head, with all the Heroic, Bottles, Lutris, launching through Steam, etc. It feels like I should have understood it months ago. It's so simple once you see someone describe it simply and properly. Thank you so much for that. I can't describe how much I appreciate it.

I only just realised you were the person who wrote this as well. I should be the one thanking you! Thank you, thank you very much, for making Linux Gaming accessible and easy to understand.
