Good that games work perfectly with Proton as native ports get more and more scarce. On the flip side Proton works so well that some games that stopped working on Windows like Act of Treason and it made some ports unnecessary.

For me as long as the game offers the same experience as on Windows I don't care about the underlying technology.

The only thing with Proton is that you should not play in full screen mode.

I do the same. I have > 700 games and it becomes expensive. But I still buy the good rated ones, and the ones from Feral/Aspyr/VP and Paradox.

Quoting: gojulSteamOS being Debian-based, recommending Debian or Mint/Debian would make a lot of sense. But it is true that Debian is not for beginners.

Agreed. Pure Debian is tricky to install, configure and maintain (compared to Ubuntu).
Perhaps Mint-Debian then...

Who knows.....

Installing Debian is tricky for newbies. Maintaining it is not harder than Ubuntu provided you're using stable.

Looks like Valve may not use a Debian-based distro : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/155794864305471497/591834042437992448/Screenshot_20190622_053640.png [External Link]

It's true that from a packager perspective RedHat tools are much more handy than Debian tools.

If you're affected (I am with recent kernel fixes) launch Steam this way :
steam -tcp

Quoting: ShmerlDidn't Valve select Debian for SteamOS? So Valve would simply swap Ubuntu with Debian as most recommended target. Quite natural to expect that.

They did this because Canonical has a shitty license policy.

Quoting: no_information_hereEdit: Just checking and it looks like most of those work fine. Hmm. Does anyone have any comments on the KDE Debian spin?

Running Debian with KDE for, dunno, two decades? Sure worth a try.

KDE on Stretch was broken due to a massive memory leak in ksmserver they never fixed. Now Buster is much more stable on KDE.

Glad to have dropped Ubuntu several years ago for Debian. At the time I was worried about the future of Kubuntu.

As long as Dying Light 2 works through SteamPlay it is fine for me.
