The easiest way is to install protonup-qt, it’s a graphical frontend to manage proton versions.

Once it’s installed it should be in the Steam compatibility drop-down.

Have you tried Proton GE yet? In Chrono Trigger, everything works until you get to a cutscene and then it crashes on standard Proton, I think there’s a codec issue or something caused by the video. Could be something like that.

You know, for a long time I thought the argument that choosing a distro was s big blocker for people was dumb, and people should just try things like I did. As I got older, though, I recognized that if I wanted someone to actually make the change, it’s better to have a recommendation for them. The problem often with that though is they have to trust me exclusively, they don’t have the relationship with Debian or Fedora or whatever, that doesn’t mean anything to them. It’s a “devil you know is better than the one you don’t” situation. Sure, Windows sucks, but they don’t know if the alternative is better. They have to take my word on it and take the plunge.

Valve, though. They know and trust Valve. Everybody’s got Steam and generally Valve has treated us well. I probably won’t use SteamOS myself outside of my Deck, but I am INCREDIBLY excited to have a distro to recommend that gets over that trust hurdle. And even if SteamOS isn’t a perfect fit for them, it gets your foot in the door and the next distro hop is that much less scary.

I have been very happy with the work Valve’s put into Linux. It benefits us all. Gaming was always one of the biggest hurdles and it’s effectively a non-issue now thanks to Proton. Legitimately one of the few bright spots in a sea of shit lately. Yes Gaben has 6 yachts and they’re still a profit driven corp and whatnot, but in this space they are doing a great job.

In my experience pretty much everything works this easily. Steam games are a click away, Linux support or not. For things outside of steam you can either copy the install folder from a Windows install or just run the installer through Proton.

Lol this is exactly why I made this post. I ended up using ComfyUI instead which has other, different python issues, but I got it working (kinda, no GPU but it’s fine it works)

80gb is potentially a shit load of indie games. These AAA games are fucking huge.

Hey I’m both an annoying Rust user and I also don’t understand the borrow checker. I just put & and * in front of things until it works.
