Not a fan of the Win 11 appearance, but this is kinda amusing.

For me, the biggest problem here isn't whether or not they are on Steam... it's Ubisoft Connect. Does that program work through wine/Proton? I know i had a ton of problems with EA's Origin program when I tried to run that under Lutris. Though I do assume Valve is working to make those programs work too, as they did say you should be able to install other clients.

Quoting: scaineGreat guide though. Thanks for this - the gifs tell the story better than words ever can. It's nice to have a guide on a Linux technology that doesn't need you to open a bash shell!

I have honestly never understood why the bash shell is such a huge problem for people. I mean, a lot of stuff is easier, faster and more precise to do via a shell command than in the GUI. Especially when people have different desktop environments.

For example, installing programs. I only use synaptic when I don't actually know the package name... or I want to install a large list of programs.

sudo apt-get install firefox

is much faster and easier than going through the GUI. (Using Firefox as an example)

That said, I think that articles and posts that give people commands to run could do a better job of explaining those commands.
