The only game I play on Windows nowadays is Rocksmith 2014. That's because, due to the nature of the hardware, it is a bitch to setup even on Windows. Proton just isn't having any of it.

Linux wasn’t very good for gaming in 2016 when I first tried it. Then I tried again in 2023 and only switch back because I can’t get foundry to be easy on my arch based system, so like 3 hours every other week and for the least intensive thing I run.

Damn, mine also has a Windows slice this year because one of the games I was playing with my wife didn't run well enough on the Deck so we played it on her desktop. It runs on Linux, it's just that it was a bit on the heavy side for the deck so the fps were bad and her desktop was already plugged to the TV

I've been using Linux more and more recently but one thing that annoys me is my EndevourOS thinks the PC is not in when I'm playing games via a gamepad, therefore dims the screen and tries to sleep. How do I fix this? I'm honestly surprised I even need to.

Sorry but multiboxing with a compatibility layer is pure cancer, for some reason proton just keeps gobbling up resources until the clients eventually become unplayable and need to be restarted.

alt tab doesn't work for switching and also MINIMIZE ON FOCUS LOSS? fuck you linux, absolutely fuck you.
