Thinking on switching to linux
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Approaching the end of window 10 and have no plans on upgrading to 11.
I am trying to find alternatives to applications I regularly use before jumping ship (it is mostly a gaming focused pc) any suggestions?
There’s oculus software for my vr but don’t know what I’m going to do with that
Small update: probably going to do Linux mint as that appears to be the most beginner friendly
Update two: that's a lot of comments, and Thanks for all the info
It does. The simplest way to use Proton with other games is to add each as a non-Steam game to... Steam. But there are also CLIs for it.
Will be using that then
It's worth looking into Lutris for non-Steam games as well. Comes preinstalled with Bazzite (heavily gaming-optimized Linux distro), though I don't have any non-Steam games to try it on since Steam works fine for all the games I play.
Only have two nonsteam games I play (Minecraft has a Linux version already) and Star citizen
Also want to add that you can add a non-steam .exe and install some windows applications too, not just games. After installing you just remove the installer from steam and point Steam towards the installed applications .exe
Just make sure to tell Steam to use proton to run it. By default, it does not turn that on.
