@rea987 For this specific game? I have no idea. I don't own it. I know it works for some other games I have though.

It actually has a Native Linux version, but last I checked it was tweaked specifically for the Steam Deck, with no graphics options so it's all pre-set.

I wish game developers would stop doing this, alongside no longer bundling graphics settings with their cloud save.
It's better to have a
"These are the graphics settings tested and optimized for steam deck. Changing them will have adverse effects on your performance. Are you sure you want to change your graphics settings?"
warning than just outright locking off the settings. Thank heavens that Valve added the SteamDeck=0 option.

Bottles is like the only WINE GUI app I've seen that has the one click "full backup" option which is why I ignore how much I hate how GNOME-centric apps look due to just having a feature I consider irreplaceable.

If a KDE themed app did exactly what bottles did, I'd switch to that. I wish Lutris had the full wine prefix backup feature bottles has. Which is apprently considered in issue #1451 on the github but the last post about it was in February.

...Man do I miss Gradience.

Proton in my experience is straight up better for source mods. I just wish VAC worked in it, Left 4 Dead 2 is pretty much busted on CachyOS right now.

I typically bounce off the "cute girls doing cute things" genre of anime cause it makes me cringe but I do like sports anime quite a bit due to how insane it gets, in that sports anime is to the actual sport what wrestling is to actual fighting: Exaggerated as hell, hype, and full of colorful characters. And I wanna finish it before I play this game.

I'm told that after season 1 of the show for this it starts getting as intense as a sports anime should be and I believe it after watching a few out of context clips of "Beginning of a new Era" that sold me on the series so I'm trying to thug out the "UWAAAH, SUGOI UWUUU" of season 1 knowing there's gold over the hill of shit.

What inlinuxdude said is funny because I initially wrote this franchise off with the exact phrase of "I'm not old or addicted to gambling enough to care about an anime based on real life horse betting horses" before my friend insisted I put my pre-concieved notions about the premise aside and just give it a chance, and I'm not regretting it... starting at around episode 9 of season 1 where it suddenly starts becoming the anime I wanted it to be instead of exactly the "cute girls doing cute things" slice of life I didn't want it to be.

This is a great project, I just really wish Protonup-Qt had all the features and proton versions this had, not really a fan of GTK theming.

Dropping 32 bit support is one of the reasons Mac stopped getting proton support IIRC, this would have disastrous consequences. I recently saw one of the bazzite devs also straight up said that if 32 bit support is dropped that means the end of that distro full stop.

I literally just got a friend into linux because of bazzite, if this happens it WILL turn people away from linux. This isn't some ideological "well you lose some functionality but it's otherwise generally pretty fine for the sake of progress" thing like Wayland vs X11, this is a matter of "If you do this, you will lose many people when they realize stuff they use regularly no longer works."

Nobara and Bazzite are my go-to recommendations for distros, and both are based on fedora, this is genuinely some of the worst linux news I've heard since the xz backdoor, except that wasn't even as bad, because that was unintentional and fixed quickly, while this is going to be more permanent and cause many more visible problems.

Gamescope is one of the main genuine advantages linux has over windows for people who play video games, especially old ones. And the ability to record on linux is essential, so if OBS goes that's really bad.

Just a heads up to everyone here, there is apparently a cutscene in Chapter 3 that is broken unless you use GE-Proton to play this game. The rest of the game will work fine except for this, so it'll catch you by surprise.

Wait, Tunnet wasn't considered playable? I remember playing the proton version of that game just fine a while back because the native linux port was giving me control issues.

The fact that they're open about the fact that this might need some future improvements gives me great confidence in the future of this application because it means the person working on it is open to making it even better. Frankly, I think that a feature like this should be easily accessible on any distro, hell, it should be a built in feature of Windows as well. Heck knows that developers aren't giving us as many split screen games these days.
