Can we just have a ticker on the side that automatically updates with the current number?

I'll admit I check it daily.

23.2% of Steam games currently run on Linux.

Here's what you do:

  • Install WINE.
  • Install Steam to WINE.
  • Aim Steam at your Steam Library (either on your old Windows partition, if you transitioned, or on Linux).
  • Start the game from Steam in WINE.

I've seen someone test this with a moderate (100 game) library of Steam games that don't work on Linux. Success rate was approximately 80-90% of games running without issue.

Modding didn't work as easily though. An example would be Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition. Shitty port, but it ran fine in WINE. Modding, however, broke it into unplayable territory.

I'd like someone to test all Steam games in WINE and add that to the Linux game count, since, technically, Wine Is Not an Emulator (what WINE stands for), as it's just a wrapper, so they should definitely go towards the count, imo.

Oh wouldn't that be the coolest!

Edit: I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I am just that excited

This actually sounds like a good idea. I'll try to get it in over the weekend.
