It's not just Steam Deck. It's also Proton, which managed to do what Lutris couldn't: make Magic Arena consistently work in WINE on my Linux desktop.

    Proton is the reason I don't need any Windows machines anymore

    I just need to suck it up and make the switch over already.

    Would recommend, I actually enjoy interacting with my computer now rather than just tolerating Windows

    I have it dual booting, just need to make the switch over to primary.

    That's easy, just change the boot order so it defaults to Linux. If it's a pain to boot into Windows, you'll use it less and naturally replace your usage with Linux.

    Try it for a week or two, you probably won't feel the need to go back. Make the switch today.

    Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing today. Pretty nice, just a pain to deal with NTFS shares but maybe I won’t need them soon enough.

    Use ProtonQT-up (I think that's the name) and Lutris. Works perfectly

    I really like openSUSE Tumbleweed, it basically feels like a polished rolling release.

    But what exactly are you trying to do? If you're using Steam, it just works. You can even add non-Steam games to Steam and use Proton with it. If you can't figure it out, post the issues you run into and surely someone will lend some tips.

    Despite what the OP of this thread said, I use proton through Lutris. I haven't used any other tool for this yet, though I hear heroic games launcher is good too.

    I'm not looking at it right now, but on Lutris you can add a new game, say it should run under wine, and then pick one of the versions of wine with proton.
