    👋Hello from Feb 2024. The Steam menus have changed! ⚠ At 1:40, the beta selection is no longer under "Account" but the "Interface" menu. At 2:10 the menu is no longer "Steam Play" but now "Compatibility." Cheers!

    I tried to run games with Proton enabled. Followed your steps, but my game won't open after I click Play button. There is no respond. After click Play button, it shows like the program is loading, but then the Play button goes back again. Is there anything I should do? I use Elementary OS Hera, running on AMD Ryzen 7 3700u.

      They all worked out of the box for me with proton. However proton still did not enable dx10 for dxvk so Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat can only use dx9 for the time being.

    • @TheLinuxEXP
      @TheLinuxEXP  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a fork of Wine, as I understand it, and is funded by Valve, so the best thing you can do is buying games from Linux and playing them on Linux, I guess :)

    If you want to go though the hassle and setup wine then all the DXVK games I run so far with wine 7.x run better then via steam using proton I still trying to be vkd3d to work fine in wine with steam still have some problem with that. I may try making a new wine folder and set it up for vkd3d instead of using the same I set up for dxvk.

      Depends on what hardware you are going to install it and what are you going to do in there.
      For example if you want to run Linux in a potato (low specs laptop or PC) Alpine is a good option, or if you want a server, I personally run Ubuntu Server, or if you want a Linux for daily tasks and normal stuff I use Mint, Mint also runs games quite well.
