I am mostly happy that Valve is contributing their modifications to Wine. I prefer my games to be DRM free, so I don't buy them from Steam, but if I can buy and download them elsewhere, and still run them in Linux, that would be awesome.

You can build Proton from source without using steam.

On ArchLinux or Manjaro, you can also get it from the AUR which automates the whole process.

and you can't play them all either, the cost is over 1 million even if it was on sale.

I was thinking about how Valve has somehow avoided a lot of the controversy that surrounds other tech companies and gaming companies (like EA, Riot, Bluehole, etc). It hit me in the shower today: Valve are cool because they don't take sides. They don't take sides in politics, they don't take sides in OS wars, they don't even know about numbers between 2 and 4.

They did ban hentai but realized their mistake and backpedaled.

Do you have someone down voting all your posts, or does someone just down vote facts? I'd like to know why this comment got down voted.

Have a winewrapper for every game so it works on linux? Yeah, that'd be neat. Also maybe a Galaxy client for linux that wraps it all up in a nice shiny package.

I've done that but it doesn't exactly run right each time just to install a game.

It's pretty neat seeing all the people that hate microsoft and can finally leave their abusive relationships.

I am not on Steam but I do like Linux and won't use anything "Windows" past Win7 ever, this is really good news - I hope other companies do the same. Glad to hear you can play your games in Linux!

I'm still uncertain whether this will do more harm than good in the long run.

In the end, it still endorses locking things into the Windows way. Unfortunately, the problem is invisible to end users who just want to play games.

It will likely encourage Windows devs to use Vulkan instead of DirectX. This is a good thing.

I think that this allows many gamers to finally give up windows. And as less of their shit is win-only, they buy less win-only shit. Until more and more are linux-only, forcing the market to move where the customer wants it to.

Basically it's to help gamers who aren't CS majors to make the switch, slowly weening them off the M$ teet.

MS doesn't even care about windows anymore, it's not their primary focus anymore.
