Windows has had winget for a while now. While not as good as Linux version, I think it’s fine enough for those who must still use Windows for their gaming. 🤔
There's like three package managers for Windows and none of them have gained enough traction to really be considered the de facto.
Also, Microsoft stole AppGet from its developer and didn't pay them anything.
Just FYI, gaming isn't a reason to stay anymore really. I've only had minor issues since switching.
Multiplayer doesn’t typically work in Proton :(
Yes it does. I've been playing Squad, Hunt, and The Finals recently. I've also played CS, Overwatch, Tribes 3, and some other multiplayer games too. It almost always works, unless they want you to install a rootkit to play, like Valorant.
For general gaming for sure! Retro gaming is even better on Linux! I am one of those that loves modding their games though, and the tools aren’t there just yet. With Nexus beginning beta for Linux support, I am hopeful that I will be able to switch over soon enough. :)
Yeah, that's true. Modding does suck. KSP has good Linux support for modding, but I think that's the only one that I haven't had to do manually. Manual modding is not hard though, but it does take more time.
I haven't had any issues running modded games but if I do normally only mod unity games
