  You can try WeMod. That’s what usually allows me to complete games, especially since I don’t have a lot of time and just want to have fun in the game after a very long work day!

  Nope! I have my iPhone always updated to the newest version (unless it is a new revamp like iOS 26 will be).

  I use a program called Sideloadly!

  Obviously, just be careful on what you install, as with anything else! :-]

  What field are you in, if you don’t mind a stranger asking?

  I wish I could have an interesting backstory to why I wanted to switch to Linux, but mine is much more simple! I just saw how well the SteamDeck was running some of the games I was throwing on it, and was pretty impressed! So, I pulled a spare SSD out of one of my old laptops, chucked it into the desktop, and started the install for openSUSE Tumbleweed because I had heard it was “one of the most stable distros” and was sold since I have always messed my Linux installs up! (I was also dual booting on the same laptop I pulled the SSD from, so that could have been a lot of the issues I had)

  Gaming is definitely more simple once you acclimate to the new OS you are using. It was like when I used a Mac for the first time, and didn’t find it very good to use, but now I can get on one and do a lot more things now that I understand the system a little better! If I need to look something up, I just always add openSUSE Tumbleweed, and generally find what I need.

  I used some tools (ChrisTitusTech, and StartAllBack mainly) to make Windows bearable, but never liked not having the control over MY system. It is definitely weird when I am on Windows. I usually check to see if that nasty Recall system somehow installed itself on there, or something similar. Heebie jeebies!

  Hey, Dani! I don’t have a lot of time to play games like I used to, so you and the others who have worked on wemod-launcher are a LIFE SAVER! I can’t tell you how cool it is to see the developer here, and actually saw my comment.

  Every time I get done playing a game, and WeMod asks the “How was it?” prompt, I also always shout the project out through that, just in case someone sees it and they want to help or make the switch over to Linux. :)

  I started running openSUSE Tumbleweed full time at the beginning of this year!

  I truly must thank the folks at Steam/Proton, GE-Proton, and wemod-launcher on GitHub for allowing me to play my games exactly like I did on Windows. I can’t stress to anyone who isn’t playing on Linux just how good it really is (for me, at least)!

  I have beaten at least 10 games while on Linux. Games like: Metaphor: Refantazio, Persona 3 Reloaded, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mass Effect Legendary Edition (all three games), Oblivion Remastered, and recently System Shock (Remake). Just to name a few off the top of my head!

  I still have a Windows SSD dedicated to anything I MUST use on there (mainly modding games, logging back into openSUSE, then pulling those files straight from the Windows SSD onto my openSUSE SSD, fucking love that!), but that is mostly being unused because I found the wonders of QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine Manager. I use the VM to sideload apps onto my iPhone, for save editing, or for testing a Windows only app before trying to run it with Bottles or something else.

  Logging into Linux feels like home, while logging onto Windows feels like someone else’s home. :P

  Thanks so much for this layout of everything. I wasn’t even aware of what was going on, and your comment put it all together. Cheers!

  Remember when that useless bot was around here, objectively wrong, and getting downvoted all the time? Good times.
