It took an enormous amount of fiddling for me to get games working on Debian 12 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yiliu@informis.land 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've been using Steam in FlatPak on NixOS for a couple years now. The only games I've found that didn't work were due to anti-cheat rootkit stuff, which would probably be a bigger deal if I cared about online gaming. And I've had to change the Proton version a couple times, because the beta (default) seems to break a game occasionally. Overall: it's astoundingly good compared to where it was 5+ years ago. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Moc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I agree with you, but it’s just not ready for the average person. Case in point: regardless of which version of Steam I install it goes into a crash-restart cycle if I open it from gnome. The only way to run it is to type “steam” in the console. The issue persists regardless of whether I use the .deb or flatpak. permalink fedilink source parent
