Hi everyone, I just finished writing a guide on everything you need to know in order to game on Linux. It covers Proton (Steam play), using Heroic Launcher (with Wine-GE), and all sorts of tidbits and tips I wish people had told me earlier. I hope this can be useful to someone out there!

A few years ago I would say gaming on Linux isn't worth it.

This was me in 2021.

I ate my hat when SteamDeck came out.

I'm really excited for the future of Linux!

@Potatos_are_not_friends Two things happened that changed everything: Proton and the open-source AMD graphics stack.

Let's not forget VKD3D and DXVK. Absolutely earthshattering impact
