Hey there!

I am really astonished about the big amount of alternatives we’ve got in europe.

But I think this is a hard one: Steam.

I have switched from windows to linux a few years ago and I don’t plan to go back. Steam has the advantage of the integrated proton-service which allows playing many windows games on linux.

Do we have something similar?

    Good luck. Their website said it’s coming for years, then they quietly dropped the promise.

    Didn’t even have the decency to publicly admit they were never going to care about Linux support.

      They sid partner up semi-officially with heroic though.

      Makes sense, don’t duplicate the already perfectly fine work of the heroic team :)

      Too bad. One can hope that when Valve release SteamOS for general use, a decent amount of those forced to upgrade to Windows 11 later this year will use SteamOS instead… and maybe that will give Linux some traction amongst gamers. But it might also not.
