Even gamers nexus’ Steve today said that they’re about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It’s happening, y’all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn’t precisely say they’re starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

    For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.

    Although, I’m not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance. apt doesn’t list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally…

        I’m not sure if you’re reading my messages but I’m saying I’m not sure how to do Proton outside of Lutris and Steam. And that CLI outside of a launcher sounds more convenient, but gave Lutris instructions for someone running a game not from Steam.

          okay, that is different, sorry.

          for that

          step 1. install wine-tkg

          step 2. right click a .exe > properties, set wine-tkg as the default

          left click on .exe’s to open

          done
