You do, however, seem to be in the minority. The only games that don’t work, for the most part, are games with kernel-level anticheat where the dev has chosen to not allow Linux to work.
Proton often runs games better than playing on native Windows.
No, those games are single-player games without anti-cheat. It’s possible that Proton has issues with older Intel processors or integrated GPUs or something. The games just don’t get running most of the time. Fortunately Battle Brothers still runs.
Don’t ask me what the fuck is broken with it, but it is. Proton may work better on newer systems with more cores in the processor, but it certainly has some black spots in terms of retro-hardware-compatibility apparently.
I don’t know exactly, because nobody wanted to help me troubleshoot the problem so I just gave up.
Only if you can make Word, Excel and all my games run natively without extra steps.
linux user starts rambling about how it’s supposedly super easy, then drops gun and starts crying
MS Word, excel, Photoshop and Fortnite not working ? I see this as an absolute win !
I agree on the Fortnite part and don’t care about Photoshop, but the other two are actually pretty good.
Every single game I’ve ever tried playing works
Well, that’s great and I’m happy for you! Obviously doesn’t seem to be the same on my system though.
