    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Yeah, sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me. 😁

    I think so. It’s been a while since I set it up.

    Since I can’t remember setting up the proprietary ones, I’d assume it’s the blob
