I see you tried particularly hard: did you actually select the proton runtime for the “random” game you selected? I’ve quite literally have ZERO games in my library that have not played on linux. It’s not a fully complete or random sampling, but I’ve gotten everything to work, but you do have to do the bare f-ing minimum step of turning it on.







But downloading deb files is how you install things on Ubuntu. Just like app files on Mac and exe on Windows. Like, any user needs to do the absolute bare minimum and understand the os they’re using.
If the requirement is that Linux needs to run exe fines just like windows, then that’s not reasonable and the user should totally just continue to use windows. They deserve the ads.
But if you read the 1/4 page install instructions for steam and Linux, follow the directions, then your things will run just fine. THAT is what people mean when they say Linux works great for users.
