Linux Gaming thread

I want to be able to just click the .exe and run shit right out of the box. I'd also like my DAWs and VSTs to work properly on Linux but that's not gaming.

Valve is already improving Linux gaming, they just need to work on proton and maybe advertise steamos so the normies actually try Linux, then Linux would be much more popular

But that doesn't even really work on Windows anymore depending on what version that exe was made for. Tools like Lutris are generally better and let you run stuff that doesn't work on modern Windows.

It's actually quicker (and sometimes easier depending on how annoying it is to get the exe) to type something line "apt-get install PROGRAM NAME" and get it automatically installed from a trusted source than wasting your time getting download links for that exe.

But I have the exe already. I have my backups and physical discs. I want to be able to run them like I can in Windows without having to fuck around having to install tricks or wrappers. I want to be able to install them to a C: drive instead of in the ass end of /usr/bin/shared/whateverthefuck/.

>type
Fuck this. I don't care how powerful the command prompt is, I stopped typing shit to run things when Win3.1 got released. Macfags stopped typing shit. Even the Amiga furfags stopped typing shit. If a solution to a problem starts with "open the terminal", you start making a better fucking solution.

>trusted source

you guys are really retarded

I respect Linuxfags. Takes dedication and conviction to want to play on that platform.

Is SteamOS still being developed or is it barren like many valve ideas nowadays?

I don't know if it's still being developed but I literally played all of nier automata from my couch last week, with an Xbox controller. Felt and looked better then a console

Yes, they just released a new beta update last week.

They're working towards a 3.0 release which will have the new interface they talked about at GDC along with integrated Steam Play AKA Proton AKA Wine+DXVK.
Which is rumored to be coming on new hardware which they're keeping close to their chest but which will probably be very similar to the architecture Google is using for Stadia.
