A look at how Steam Play is doing, based on the ProtonDB reports from July

Resident evil 4 is running great with d9vk, it's one of my favourite game of all time, but I need to play a little more to report it correctly, maybe when d9vk turns the default, it will be rated as platinum

I didn't notice that Dark Souls III is on whitelist, it's a really good game, I recommend.

I hope that in the future, Google releases a desktop OS with this Stadia ecosystem running locally.

Emulator with DRM... Yaaaay!!!(?)

Would be interesting if Steam integrates the core emulators in their application natively.

Epic Games' Tim Sweeney talks Linux and gaming some more, says Linux is "great"

He has a good perception of freedom.

Stores can do whatever it want, even a exclusivity.

Devs can do whatever they want, so they can accept offers, they can develop for the systems that they like.

Users can use the service they want.

It's all that simple.

I like the idea of Tim talking about Linux, maybe we will receive a native port of Fortnite sometime

A guide to Steam Play Proton, Valve's tech for playing Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck

This is a REALLY nice article, congratulations!

The only point that I don't agree is about the rating in Protondb, a lot of Platinum ratings have a lot of workarounds, so I don't think that if X game has platinum rating is good to go. I suggest to study about every game that you want to play, if someone can run, so try it by yourself

Quoting: ThormackThe new Steam officially supported distro just launched.
Awesome.

(Just a speculation, for now...)
Nah, I don't think so.

There's a lot things to do after the installation. IMO they will support a more friendly distro, preferably with a corporation behind, like OpenSUSE or Fedora

Maybe they create a new distro for desktop use based on Debian.

Linux Mint doing a small-form-factor MintBox 3, they don't sound too happy about Snaps

They should switch the primary mint to Debian, LMDE is in good shape and off the canonical craziness.

A look over the ProtonDB reports for June 2019, over 5.5K games reported to work with Steam Play

Quoting: elmapul
Quoting: fagnerlnI see some Platinum rating with a lot of workarounds, and some "borked" games that the game runs.
if the game runs for many people but crash on your machine, why would you rate it platinum?
but i totally agree with the opposite, platinum dont mean platinum at all (as i said in my previous comment)
This is exactly what I'm saying, the game is only platinum if it works out of the box in your machine/distro.

Borked is to games that didn't run, but some people use it to games that crashes after a while, which is obviously bronze.
