I use it for work but at home with gaming and stuff it's just not sustainable
Proton keeps getting better and better. I long for the day when I can ditch windows completely and it might not be too far away.
If by "not too far away" you mean "5+ years ago," then sure. That's how long I've been gaming Linux-only, anyway.
Is it possible to mod Bethesda games on Linux?
Yes, I've done it myself following some tutorials online for Skyrim SE. It's not as simple as on Windows but it's definitely possible.
Cool, I'll have to look into that. That's mainly what's keeping me from going entirely Linux. I run Mint on my laptop.
Yeah you just use Mod Organizer 2 same as on Windows.
How’s Factorio on Linux?
If I can play that I’ll move.
it's native since inception, i believe
prolly even runs better than on windows, although it doesn't really matter since it's so freaking optimized
It works perfectly fine for me.
Proton is made by Steam, which locks you into their platform.
However Wine in general, as well as Lutris also keeps getting better which is great.
Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It's very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.
What games do you play that aren't compatible? I don't play many of the really mainstream games. I think the last game I played that wasn't compatible at the time was genshin impact.
