Rocket League runs on Linux, doesn't it?
it used to run natively but then it got sold and the new guys discontinued it
On protonDB, people are still reporting that it works.
No, it’s a database of games that work with steam’s proton (aka Steam Play)
Proton is Valve's software to play Windows games on Linux. It's mostly integrated with Steam, but can also be used for other games.
ProtonDB is a website to look up whether the games run with proton and, if necessary, any extra steps are required to make it work.
Last I played it, it worked. So, did it stop working this month or something?
Anything that uses the evil hexbear is hit or miss depending on which binary it ships with. Epic ships a Linux native version, that developers can allow to tunnel through Proton to the Windows binary, but unlike the Windows binary it doesn't have kernel level access. Meaning it's "less effective" at preventing cheating since it can't snoop your entire system using root access.
So basically a game developer can flip a switch to allow anything to run on Linux, but they can also unflip that switch and brick Linux installs from playing online.
