Cool. I thought it's all Steam right now? Is that a stupid question?
Steam uses Proton under the hood which is based on wine. From the repo
Cheers!
I use wine for FFXIV. proton kinda works but not for my case. Certain mods use a bleeding edge version of dotnet and this version is not present in proton.
Proton won't run BG3MM for me, so I have to use regular Wine.
You may also want to run non-steam games. I'm still new to linux and haven't tried that yet but I think I will need to for my GoG library.
+1 ,but you can always add external games to Steam. I tried it once, and it worked. However, I prefer GOG over Steam because of its DRM-free policy and also prefer clean Wine over Proton, as I can report bugs directly to Wine bugtracker. I have some Steam games installed on Wine. Yes, I had to first install Steam inside Wine prefix and only after that install the games. Additionally, there is always pirated software, which I won't add to Steam.
