What networking program? If it’s not some proprietary protocol I bet there is a Linux tool that does it.

scheep@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI’m not missing anything, even games run fine with Wine/Proton. Also, a lot of the Linux games a really fun! (I personally enjoy Xonotic and SuperTuxKart. I also like to play custom roms with mgba) The only thing I’m missing is pretty much ONE really niche network program thing which didn’t have a Linux version. Everything else either has a Linux version, is a Windows game that can be run with Wine, or has some Linux alternative (think inkscape, kdenlive, okular)

A VPN. I couldn’t get V2rayA to work. I might have to have another crack at it soon…
vala@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I don’t understand why a VPN needs special software to work honestly but I guess that’s valid. It’s likely it would “work” in wine but idk if it will be able to do what it needs to.
scheep@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
not special software, but it has an app that lets you log in on win and mac. On Linux, I was able to log in and see all the servers but when I set it as proxy it didn’t work :( I might try again later

Yeah but having to use third party software to run games is annoying and it’s probably not smooth and you more than likely get errors

and you’d be wrong

Just get lutris and I expect it works just fine. Worked fine for overwatch, so i expect WoW too.
But you’re right, lunchers are usually the biggest issue when its comes to compatibility. Especially that completely useless piece of shit Rockstar peddles.

I mean all I’m using is Steam, adding them as “non-steam games”. I’ve also found some game art to make it look nice. For me at least, I haven’t run into any issues besides at one point one of my games was missing a few shaders causing it to render improperly (I forgot to move the files from my Windows installation, but after I did everything worked!)
It wasn’t difficult to install at all! I just installed steam (for fedora you need to make sure you enable third-party repos when furst installing the OS) and that’s basically it. I’ve also installed Wine manually (not very hard, just “sudo dnf install wine” on fedora) to run a few non-game programs like some compiled .exe programs I made a few years ago by running “wine [program name]”. It’s crazy how simple it all is now!
