I have switched from windows to linux a few years ago and I don't plan to go back. Steam has the advantage of the integrated proton-service which allows playing many windows games on linux.

Do we have something similar?

Good luck. Their website said it's coming for years, then they quietly dropped the promise.

Didn't even have the decency to publicly admit they were never going to care about Linux support.

They sid partner up semi-officially with heroic though.

Makes sense, don't duplicate the already perfectly fine work of the heroic team :)

Nobody non tech savvy or without weird interesting is going to pick up an unofficial 3rd party launcher

Too bad. One can hope that when Valve release SteamOS for general use, a decent amount of those forced to upgrade to Windows 11 later this year will use SteamOS instead.. and maybe that will give Linux some traction amongst gamers. But it might also not.

Last weekend I upgraded my gaming pc from windows 10 to EndeavorOS. It works great and I can run all my games. Pillars of eternity never worked for me with windows since I’m using a weird TV as a screen, but with Linux everything works.

My reason for upgrading was the W10 EOL and the fact that my computer couldn’t run W11 due to no tpm.

I know there is workarounds, but it would be nice with official support.

It will be coming... Probably some time after nvidias wayland support is finally good enough to support all the features needed... so it could take a while... I wish they would release it for intel & amd GPUs already though :/
