I’m planning on switching to Linux on my main PC as I don’t want to move to Windows 11 and was curious about other people’s experiences doing so.
I have a Steam Deck and everything there works out of the box, but I imagine that’s a more curated platform compared to standard distros.
What are your experiences, good or bad?
Thanks. I didn’t know about Bottles, that seems useful (mostly for non game software I guess).
This screenshot is just an FYI at some of your options. I’ve got bottles, PortProton, and the ProtonTricks launcher as options for any given EXE/MSI installer. Bottles is usually all that’s necessary but I have the others for super tricky stuff like embedded software development BS that would never be encountered by a normal person (haha).
It works well for games that just come as EXEs too, but I mainly use it for non-games, yeah.
