@Templa @JustEnoughDucks Yup, it's on Linux.

@Chadus_Maximus @_Sprite Personally I go the opposite way... If a game stops working on Linux, I stop playing it... There are too many enjoyable games in the world to stick to just one 😅
@Gork @mr_MADAFAKA The deck and all these handhelds just drive game sales on Steam, which is where Valve makes all it's money... Competition between handhelds doesn't bother them!
@sugar_in_your_tea @fossisfun It's also just straight-up more daunting to update an application running inside a container, and a lot harder to troubleshoot when it goes wrong.
@beesterman @lightnsfw What?!? I run games using proton on an NTFS partition just fine...
If you do this it's safer to use lowntfs-3g so everything is forced to lower case... And yes using a proper linux filesystem is way safer.
@alwaysconfused @Peafield Can always use NixOS if you need a reproducable system that you reinstall frequently?
@Jean_le_Flambeur @andruid It's dumb, but sorely needed in some games... Cheating is rife in simulated racing games (such as iRacing, F1 2023, Assetto Corsa) and those games are highly competitive. Memory hacks to increase grip or power levels for cars is commonplace. And the only place you can catch those cheats is at the kernel level... As long as people cheat, low level anti-cheat is the only possible solution :(
@Simplesyrup Hmmm, it appears Lemmy doesn't pull images from Mastodon, there's meant to be a screenshot there...
@jannem @hydroel It's a good starting point... I've never been a huge fan of the Ubuntu Desktop environment. Snaps can behave a little weirdly at times (I had issues getting a VR Headset working with the snap version of Steam). I'm not sure what their GPU driver situation is these days, I know they were providing older drivers in their repositories a few years ago. POP_OS! is a nice ubuntu based option too...

Collabora Office, tied into an instance of nextcloud. So essentially like the Google office suite but self hosted. Then Libre office if I need to do anything offline.
