this right here is the bullshit that keeps people out, brother
Same things goes for leftist thinking (I see you’re a .ml enjoyer)
Stop trying to browbeat people into your ideology, calling them stupid provokes an irrational negative emotional response, even if your ideas are objectively more logical, as they’ll just reject it
This is why capitalism is so effective with their “come to the dark side, we have cookies!”
Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you don’t need to sell it
The games were gold or platinum on protonDB and run fine on my steam deck
Steam / Lutris said they’re running, nothing shows up.
Your edit is another reason I actually rather stay away from Linux instead of giving it a chance / asking for help. The community feels way too elitist and insulting to anyone not praising it.
There are clowns in every community and they are typically the loudest ones. Sorry Linux didn’t work out for you this time around. Hardware variables are hard to account for which if I had to bet, hardware weirdness is likely to be the root of your issue.
Sadly people like this have been there at every corner when I talk about my issues/reasons for not switching (yet). I still want to, but also think this turns off a lot of people.
That was also my guess certainly with an nvidia GPU. My next pc will be AMD based partially because I really want to make the step to Linux
Im sorry, I just saw a downvote and thoughts this was another post just ranting and not wanting help
You should probably try Gamescope. I had the same issue many times with GNOME, so using a seperate renderer would at least solve wether the Problem is with the DE or the PC itself
Also, if you dont use proton as the runner you should have a seperate wine directory with vcredist installed for every game, since wine dosent like having more than 1 thing per directory.
Also try installing lutris and steam through flatpak, that way they are system independent too
Thanks for clearing it up. It is a slight rant as well I wasted a lot of time haha, I’ve already removed the Linux partition and made it windows again so I could reinstall my games. As I’m planning on getting my new pc within the next few months (as long as budget allows) I’m not planning on retrying until I have that system.
I’ve looked up gamescope but can’t figure out how I’d get that to work, did put it in my notes for when I’m trying Linux again tho, perhaps a video will clear it up. Thanks!
I tried proton and wine (at least, steam used proton and if I understand correctly Lutris uses Wine?) but both just had the same issue
I had steam installed through flatpak so don’t think that was the issue either
Then probably your Pc was too new
Id always recommend using Opensuse anyway
And how did your Games not run? Did you even try to look them up on Protondb?
edit: Oh, I get it. Anyways, how much is Microsoft/the CIA paying you for this?

This pc is from about 2022/2023

Yeah, depending on its age an NVIDIA GPU can be a non-starter. That said, I had a 2060 when I first transitioned to Linux last year and had no issues.
Its a 3080 bought at release (its a bit newer than the rest of my pc). Was already afraid having an NVIDIA GPU was gonna mess it all up
