Comment on Microsoft to stop forcing Windows 11 users into Edge in EU countries

  Yes, you can either add the game as a non-steam game and force proton, or use Lutris or Bottles. For repacks with installers, you can launch the setup.exe with Lutris or Bottles, just make sure you're include dependencies that require it (usually .net framework).

    Not to necro this thread, but lets say someone I know has gotten copy of a repack and when they try to install it with Lutris it says they don’t have enough disk space to run the installer, is it possible to create the wine bottle and specify the size of it before launching the installer?

  Yes, Steam doesn’t do anything

  You can just as easily use Wine/Proton as your runner as you can set up Steam to use Wine/Proton as your runner

    Not true, steam makes it incredibly easy. Install steam, tick compatibility option, install, click green play button.

      Lutris makes it incredibly easy. Install Lutris, tick runner option, install, click play button

        Lutris is great, I use it myself.

        However, if you have a friend fresh from Windows who already uses steam and you say, tick compatible proton 8 or latest and click play vs install new software and then add the game you’ve already lost the easy battle.

    Steam works on Linux.

      yeah and it is very easy

  Sure. I’ve run several modern … repurposed… games and it usually works through lutris.

  At this point in time, I only occasionally have mild issues with newest games, because Wine is a continuously developed software, and games with an annoying anticheat, such as Destiny 2 or R6 Siege. Everything else just runs, including older games, that don’t even run on Windows, or titles you had to sail the seas for

  Yeah it’s great. Bottles is the best tool imo, lutris almost feels like a relic from the early days of Linux gaming, and non-steam games in steam don’t always work exactly how you might want, and aren’t so much fun. There is also heroic games launcher now which lets you add custom games and is also a very nice option if you don’t use gnome (bottles is a gnome style app so it may look out of place elsewhere). I would put some thorough research into VPNs if you torrent though because the one I used on my Linux box (expressvpn) leaked my ip at some point and I got a letter in the mail.
