Hi everyone!
I’m a Playstation gamer looking into moving to Linux gaming as the next Playstation might not be able to play physical games.
Here are my 2 computers:
MacBook Pro 2012 (upgraded) with Fedora 41
Surface Go 1 with Fedora 41
I bought Frostpunk on Steam after checking on Proton DB that it would normally run on the MacBook as I knew the Surface Go would probably be way too weak.
According to Proton DB it’s a Gold game.
In the end, no matter what version of Proton I use, it doesn’t launch on the MacBook. I have a black screen, some icy sounds and then it crashes at best..
I then thought, let’s give it a try on the Surface Go and it launched immediately without any tinkering using Proton experimental.
But, the game crashes when the firat cinematic starts, probably because it’s loading too many assets for the Surface.
If anyone has an idea about what to try too many get it working on the MacBook, I would be thankful.
In the meantime, I would want to know, how do you know if a game is gonna run on your machine?
If you don't specifically need Fedora, you can certainly install Gnome on Steam Deck with SteamOS, it just comes with KDE as a default.
Is it difficult to get Gnome on Steam Os?
Wouldn’t I be able to have a gaming partition with Steam OS and its desktop mode and an administrative partition with Fedora workstation?
I know I would be wasting some space by doing this instead of just getting Bazzite, but I would be reassured to just keep the basic Steam Os..
