I just contributed my first review to #ProtonDB because I had to fix two minor issues, including fixing a fix of someone else (with a little help from my programmer boyfriend).

One of my 2025 new year's resolutions is trying to move away from Windows 10 for gaming (as it's supposed to lose support later this year).

So far, I'm amazed at what already works, how many games in my library, especially the ones I cherish, are already natively supported on Linux, how many games just effortlessly run on Linux without native support and how much fun it can be to fix the ones that don't and sharing your findings with the community (similar vibe as contributing to OSM).

You're facing new compromises, that's for sure, but Windows had so many compromises and we learned to sail around them. And now the compromises just stack up so much, I'd rather re-learn a few things, become more independent and help other people, with even less technical knowledge than I have, to do the same.

Looks like #AtomicPicnic is lacking any #SteamDeck reports on #protondb if anyone who has the game wants to add theirs. As someone who loves Risk of Rain games, I have a feeling this will be a great game for Deck-owning roguelike-lovers as well.

I'll make sure to grab it once a Steam Sale pops up.

I think I've been on #linux almost 3 months now. There was a rough on-boarding period but I figured out how to figure things out. Things are more or less working how I want them or at least enough that I don't see myself returning to Windows.

There's some annoyances, of course. Video sites that use DRM like Peacock and Vudu don't want to work though Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, and Paramount+ all do. #virtualreality has been a pain and a half. I got #ALVR to work but it's really rough with wildly varying framerates and I've yet to figure out how to make sound work. I wish #SteamVR would let me stream to the device like I could on Windows.

#Gaming has been pretty good. #Lutris has been a huge help as well as #ProtonDB. #Audio was a massive pain as my video capture card was also my mic DAC and the inputs aren't separated in Linux (no udev rules to help) so I had to source a new DAC.

It feels like now is a great time to try it out if you're on the fence.
