Can you compile sex from source? Ha, didn't think so!
Think again https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sex
You win, sex it is

Can you freely modify and distribute sex? Not that I know of!
Charging money is actually illegal in most parts of the world
I distribute sex for free. Sue me.
Finally, chex quest HD
The moment we've all been waiting for.
Nobody using Windows is sad about this like the meme suggests however. Literally no one is "team windows" lol
Nobody is actively team windows, but they immediately become team windows as soon as you suggest they try Linux.
Maybe because people just don't care for unsolicited "advice" from Linux nerds?
Yeah, I'm a full-time Linux user but there are a lot of people who just seem to use Linux as a replacement for a personality and it's fucking awful.
Not limited to just Linux, obvs, but it's the topic de jure.
No, there has to be a different reason women won't talk to me
I mean, I use Windows more than Linux, but seeing the news that it's easier to play games on Linux is great. And from a dev perspective, if I more stuff just works on Linux, fucking fantastic.

Why would Windows users be crying. Most users have ambivalence/hate relationship with it.

I thought proton is an email/vpn company, do they have a gaming client like steam?
This proton isn't affiliated with the one you're talking about. Proton is a tool that valve developed based on wine that lets windows games run on Linux, especially the steamdeck
I wish you answer me one more question. I bought games on steam that later found they're "Windows only". I can't play these games on the steam I installed on my linux pc. I can only play them on the steam of my windows pc.
Can I play them on linux using Proton? If yes, then this might allow me remove windows from my life completely
Click Properties, then Compatibility. Select a Proton version from the menu. It should allow your games to run.
Steam → Settings → Compatibility → Steam Play → Enable Steam Play for supported titles & Enable Steam Play for all other titles
Search for the game you're looking to run on this site: https://www.protondb.com/
If it runs, you'll find reports on what it took to make it happen, if anything, and how well it runs
If it runs, you’ll find reports on what it took to make it happen, if anything, and how well it runs
Kind of wish those comments/reports were curated better though, as they get old fast, and may contradict themselves after a certain time, offering what is now bad advice.
You kind of learn not to look at the older comments when you're looking for a particular game.
Look the games up in protondb for user experiences. Also Proton is not a Garantie. I have a great experience with proton and steam deck is running with proton, so valve makes money with proton and improve it daily. But it is NOT A SURE THING.
Again great tool, but it has a limit. E.g. valorant doesn't run.
lookup "protondb"

It's too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren't being posted on Steam.
And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it's not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it's running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.
Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.
You do know gzdoom exists, right? You can play old id games and games based on the doom engine natively by purchasing them and running the .wad file through gzdoom.
This is true, but for idtech 3 and 4 games there were official Linux binaries, but they arent distributed by platforms like steam, even though they already ship Linux versions of other games. Quake 4 or Doom 3 was I think the last of the official Linux binaries from Id.

My favourite game Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation works again. Ciao!
Um, I tried Mint for gaming and while the community is strong on helping me figure out what was wrong with my video drivers and my Logitech steering wheel, i realized I could just not run Linux and spend the time actually playing my working game on Windows.
I'm not a Windows fanboy. The majority of people just want a turn key experience. Linux(for now) is not yet a trouble free experience.
what was your issue exactly ?
Wine is an awesome feat of engineering to be sure, but even the gold level compatibility Windows games dont always work out of the box on any linux distro without a bunch of tweaks, installation of drivers, windows DLLs etc etc. Its time consuming and people dont have time, thats a huge issue.
Another issue is when the inevitable distro update comes, you have a 50/50 chance of all those tweaks having to be done again (for each game) if something with the upgrade goes sideways. Even just updating wine itself can occasionally break things, and then you are back in the support forum looking for answers.. for hours.. instead of just playing the game. For slightly more advanced users I think Lutris is the way to go, you can configure the games yourself and launch them with various versions of wine or proton, and that seems to work pretty well in most cases.
The right answer is for game manufactures to make the games for Linux, so the right answer is to get Linux desktop market share up over 10%, thats the only way to force the issue.
