    I am happy to discuss this further, but not if you’re going to do that annoying “my brother in Christ“ nonsense from Reddit. I would prefer we talk like adults here. I’m not allergic to being proven incorrect but, like most people I imagine, don’t respond well to performative snark. Definitely not when it ends with “you’re just wrong here’s no explanation or links just trust me.”

      Just because the original response seems so ignorant. Like have you actually tried it? Have you looked up the user experiences? Why am I supposed to provide the links when you are making the claim? As another user mentioned most things are seamless to run. Yes they require wine/proton as a compatibility layer, but steam does it seamlessly, it is as easy as enabling the compatibility in steam options and pressing install, then play. And this generally works for non-steam titles as well, you just add the non-steam title and let steam handle the rest.

      The OP of the video wrote himself that his process for setting up the games in the video was : install OS, install steam, install game, launch game on both windows and linux.

        You can read the rest of my comments to understand the conversation, and where I have landed. You’re incredibly rude and I am done after this.

        Either way, I know you’re just going to fight me instead of reading it, so I will just give you the cliff’s notes of what I learned: steam does not put up if a game is compatible with Linux if you have to run proton or something. It specifically only leaves the windows icon for compatibility. I was not aware of this, I feel like it’s pretty reasonable to assume that if Linux is not listed as a compatible platform then the game won’t run on Linux (just like with Mac OS). So go ahead and enjoy your victory lap or whatever.
