Let me take this opportunity...
I never played HL. Any.
I ran HL 1 when it was brand new. It was said to have great physics. The first box got stuck in the first wall. Stopped playing it.
Now, I want to get a Steam Frame next year, and I want to play HL Alyx.
What would be the best way to get into HL nowadays?
I do appreciate some half modern graphics...

Quoting: GustyGhostI guess it was too well divided between Bookworm and Trixie (and testing/sid/whatever).Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town! :heart:I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

Quoting: ramieraI'm one of the "newcomers". (I had used BSD/Linux for a long time, just kept a Windows machine for gaming.)Like Windows winking good bye... :D
Windows 10 decided to give me a reason to fully switch, when on the last day of support, it switched off my screen during use. 2 days later I had a Void Linux gaming machine setup, and using it ever since.

I am not sure if it matters any more.As a point and click, CRPG and puzzle game player, I still got more native games to play than I would ever find time to do so.
There are practically no Linux games out there.
A lot of franchises that had linux(bad ones at that) ports - became windows only with proton.
I suppose it only matters for proton, there is more initiative to make proton better as result.

Quoting: scaineUnder X11, I only get the option for 60Hz. This is across three distros (Pop_OS, Endeavour and Siduction), so it must be a hardware limitation of some kind.Works For Me(TM) on KDE 6 on Debian stable, and worked on KDE 5 on Bookworm already. I'm using Nvidia BTW.
