First year fully gaming on Linux.
(lemmy.zip)
I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.
That is awesome! What games did you try? Were there any that required initial manual tweaking, or did everything "work out of the box," so to speak?
I can pretty much just play the games I would normally, which fortunately doesn't normally include any MMO or multiplayer only. I do play Star Trek Online on rare occasions, but it works just fine for me.
I've always been lucky in that probably 40% of my favorite PC games already have native ports or native options for play, but Proton has been pretty great out of the box for most that aren't native. This year the only games I remember having major issues with were Uncharted Lost Legacy, and Batman Arkham Asylum. Uncharted was a glitch with water rendering crashing the game. It worked fine once I tweaked some settings and changed the Proton version, so it could have even been a game issue. Batman wouldn't launch without a few different tweaks, but ProtonDB had some fixes.
