sicko-tux enjoy, lots of stuff works quite well. proton experimental is a good starting point for most windows games right now, it's gotten very good lately. although i guess you're set with vic3 working.

i have Wine and Lutris installed, do i just need to enable “steam play” in the settings to use proton or is there an install for proton im missing?

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

i don't use lutris very much and not with my steam library, so i'm not sure how to use proton in lutris. in steam though, you just need to right-click on the game title in your library and go to properties -> compatibility and force the use of a specific compatibility tool.

Instead of manually enabling Proton for specific games, you can just enable it globally. Click Steam at the top left -> Settings -> Compatibility -> and check "Enable Steam Play for supported titles" and if you want to enable for all games, even if they haven't been verified as working with Proton, you can check "Enable Steam Play for all other titles".

Welcome to the bright side! If you're ever stuck and need help or just have a question, feel free to ask and I'm sure I or one of the many resident Hexbear Linux nerds will stop by!

i am! also enjoying learning abt computers at a deeper level. had to use the terminal to mount my secondary drive, change the owner to my user, change the drive to rw, and give myself permission to actually write to the drive

This can be done permanently by adding a line to /etc/fstab

weird, the device was still mounted on reboot and i didnt change the fstab

Mint is a good distro to start with, since you'll be able to find guides and stuff online when you run into problems.

Welcome to the community. If you ever have any questions you can always ask them in the libre comm.

You can check out Bottles if you want an OoTB winblows compatability layer that doesn't interfere with your system packages.

If you can share your experience installing and using that would be very helpful for others.
