Proton 5.13-5 is now up bringing in some of the experimental changes
15 Jan 2021 at 4:39 pm UTC

Quoting: axredneckWhat is a right way to use Proton outside Steam?

I use standalone Proton (I copied it from a Steam) for Origin, Rockstar Launcher and Ubisoft Connect in a following way (eg. for Origin):
1. STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/some_path/Origin /some_path/Origin/copied_proton/proton run /path_to_installation_file/OriginThinSetup.exe
2. STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/some_path/Origin /some_path/Origin/copied_proton/proton run /some_path/Origin/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Origin/Origin.exe
In this way you can paste commands from step 2 to a nice shortcut with an icon and use your app like on Windows.

Raspberry Pi OS has a big new release out switching to PulseAudio

They switched to PulseAudio, meanwhile Fedora planning switch from PulseAudio to PipeWire in the next release, so good timing. IMO they could wait, switch directly to PipeWire too and totally abandon PulseAudio.

The Witcher series - 70%-85% off. Pretty good price to get TW3 for Wine.
I have everything Witcher except the expansions to TW3. Are they worth getting?

Yes, definitely. IMO campaigns from expansions are even better than standard campaign.

25 Apr 2019 at 7:57 pm UTC

I ran a version from Steam and I played tutorial for 10 minutes without problems on Ubuntu 19.04 (I didn't find a more free time today to play this game longer).

My PC: Ryzen 5 1600X + 16GB RAM + Radeon RX580 8GB (Mesa 19.0.2)

Feral Interactive have put out the system requirements for Total War: WARHAMMER II, due on Linux this month

Too bad that Feral ports mostly Total War game series, however it means one more native port, so it's better than nothing.

The Steam Hardware Survey for October 2018 shows a small drop for Linux, a look at daily and monthly active users
2 Nov 2018 at 7:56 pm UTC

I had steam survey yesterday (first time since a year+). In october I replaced ssd in my PC, so I think that it may be a reason.

DXVK 0.71 is out for Vulkan-based D3D11 and D3D10 in Wine, minor reduction in CPU overhead and more

Quoting: iiariAlso, Void Destroyer 2, a space combat sim that was never coming to Linux that I never could get working on Wine, also "just works" on Proton. Very impressive...

I had similar problems with Risen 3 Enhanced Edition. I couldn't run it through vanilla WINE, but with Proton it works flawlessly!
