I am not even talking about games here, I mean, have you seen how many programs, professional ones work only for Windows and MacOS? too many, and yes, there are the alternatives for Linux and you can use wine and a bunch of dumb workarounds, but it is more the job you have to make to “switch” than what it is worth. I always wondered why people are such weirdos trying to pretend they will be better if they switch from windows to something else but they have to do a lot of crap to “switch”. Imagine believing the marketing Steam is putting to say 75% of games already work in Linux lol Space Marine doesn’t run cause of DRM, but again … mostly everything just works, some thing need tweaks that are on protondb … I don’t have windows on my main computer anymore… Not saying NO tweaking required, Civ 6 had issues, Crusader Kings 3 too … but mostly it’s one setting and you’re off. Jedi Knight runs a bit poorly … but i think that’s my PC cause it didn’t run great in Windows 10. Quake (the new release) had some issue when first released with movies it played. Dark Souls 2 and 3 … no issue … (Dark Souls 2 does not work on an external TV … not sure if that’s a linux issue though). … MS Flight Sim needed a launch argument, and Guilty Gear a newer version of proton (literally download a tarball and decompress in the right directory).īought No Man’s Sky earlier today, started up without any tweaking. I dunno … i am playing MS Flight Sim, Sekiro, Total War: Warhammer 2, Jedi Fallen Order, Guilty Gear Strive, Homeworld … just fine, without issue. ![]() Now You: do you play games? If so, on which platforms? (via Neowin) King's Bounty, Final Fantasy or Civilization, and get all reported games and their compatibility rating returned.Ĭompatibility is improving, and while there are still games that won't run on Linux, it is clear that compatibility has improved significantly in the past couple of years. All games that match the search term are returned, which means that you can search for entire series of games, e.g. Protondb has a search feature that Linux gamers may use to find out if games that they are interested in work well on Linux. ![]() Bronze games may crash or have serious issues.īorked games won't work at all or are unplayable, and native Linux games are just the opposite of that. Platinum and Gold rated games run perfectly, and silver games may have minor issues. Games on the database are ranked using a medal system. Of these 21,000 games, more than 17,600 are working according to the site. Users have submitted more than 150,000 reports for over 21,000 games to the site. Only the top 10 games are not well represented, as only 40% of them run on Linux without major issues according to the database. The site highlights compatibility for the top 10, top 100 and top 1000 games on Steam.ħ5% of the top 1000 games run on Linux now, and the figure is even higher, at 80%, for the top 100 games. Compatibility has improved significantly in recent years. The independent database protondb keeps track of compatibility using user reports. Mike published a guide in 2020 in which he described how Linux gamers could play AAA games designed for Windows on their Linux machines using Proton. Proton improved compatibility and Linux users on Steam had access to more games using the new feature. Originally launched as a way for gamers to play their games on all platforms without having to purchase games for each platform, Valve Software included a modified version of Wine, called Proton, in Steam Play. Steam Play, a feature that Valve Software launched in 2010 to allow cross-platform game play on Steam, would be used to improve support.
