Yeah I don’t feel like running an emulation or a script to just play a game though. If I want to use Linux. I’ll use it on a laptop for web browsing. It’s a useless OS for me personally for every day life that has very little support from other companies.
You left out the part where you have to install wine though.
Install Wine in the Terminal using “sudo apt install wine64” (64-bit computers) or “sudo apt install wine32” (32-bit computers). Download a Windows “.exe” or “. msi” program and go to the download location by typing “cd ~/Downloads” in the Terminal and pressing “Enter.” Type "wine <name of “.exe” or "
Yeah. Sounds way more fun that just getting whatever game I want and having supported drivers right away.
Just fave it man. Linux knst a boss OS like you want people to believe. And why be so pushy about it in the first place? Windows works great for me. Linux is fine when I want to use it. What does my OS preference trigger you so hard?

I didn’t leave it out because you don’t need install wine. Wine is part of Proton, Steam installs and configures Proton automatically.
You can install Steam through the GUI. Every major Desktop Environment for the past decade has included the ability to install software through the GUI.
You open Steam, click ‘Enable Steam Play’ in the options and then it is functionally identical to installing and playing games on Windows. You don’t need to even know what wine is, or how proton works.

Why are you in a Linux community if Linux triggers you so hard?
I’m not subscribed to any Linux forums, I happen to view “all” sometimes.
Linux doesn’t trigger me. The community of users does because they can’t grasp that not every human being thinks Linux is the best. It is extremely impractical for music production and for gaming.
Cool. You can is tall proton, but ever single Linux version I have ever used is nothing but problems and incompatibility with software.
I have no desire to Google search how to do basic things on a computer.
Like I said before, I use Linux when I want to, but responding to the original post I replied it, it’s not practical for me to use.
Linux has great DAWs, bridges for vsts, alternatives for Adobe software and tons of games. The issue is your unwillingness to try something new, which is fine, but that’s not a knock to Linux.
Name a real alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Especially Pro. Adobe has their crap on lockdown. And they know it, and they rape your wallet for it.
GIMP is good enough for me, and it may be a good cheaper alternative for budget minded professionals. But GIMP’s UI and workflow design pale in comparison to Photoshop. I haven’t used GIMP 3 yet though, maybe it’s gotten better.
Ableton, FL Studio plus all the vsts I use. Plus all the adobe I use plus all the games I play that are windows only
All the games that I play are Windows-only too and they run just fine via Proton.

You open Steam, click Play, and the game launches.
The same as it does on Windows.

I can answer those.
Okay.

I’ve used gimp. I pay for Adobe. I paid for FL and Ableton and used them for over 10 years. Why would I switch?
