    I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

    I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

      Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you’re curious about and if I own it I’ll try it out.

        My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.

        Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.

        Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

          Off the top of my head all but STO will work no issue

          ProtonDB says STO is gold rates, but you gotta use the experimental branch. Otherwise, will work pretty flawlessly

          PROTONDB is gonna be a great resource: it’ll tell you how playable any game is right now using Proton (you can force non steam games to run proton ezpz by launching through steam)

      Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.
