right and wrong, games play nowadays, but good luck getting the same accessibility and flexibility as windows, you wanna download a cool new mod? No problem! Oops but the mod loader is only windows based and gives wine a seizure, you can probably do it, but not without an hour or more of work, not exactly casual user friendly quite yet. And god forbid the game uses a special pheriphal
No, they are right.
It took an enormous amount of fiddling for me to get games working on Debian 12
I've been using Steam in FlatPak on NixOS for a couple years now.
The only games I've found that didn't work were due to anti-cheat rootkit stuff, which would probably be a bigger deal if I cared about online gaming. And I've had to change the Proton version a couple times, because the beta (default) seems to break a game occasionally. Overall: it's astoundingly good compared to where it was 5+ years ago.
I agree with you, but it’s just not ready for the average person.
Case in point: regardless of which version of Steam I install it goes into a crash-restart cycle if I open it from gnome. The only way to run it is to type “steam” in the console.
The issue persists regardless of whether I use the .deb or flatpak.
It is literally happening with Kubuntu 22.04.
