Installing games is same as Windows, download and launch via Steam. As for lack of FPS, willing to bet you had an Nvidia card but didn’t install the drivers for it.

So it sounds a lot like you’ve never actually done this before because that’s factually incorrect.

Wrong again.

As a long time openSUSE user I know for a fact that you’re wrong.

And as someone who has actually used Steam on Linux, I know that you’re wrong .

You click the game on Steam, click “install”. That’s the same on Windows or Linux, the client doesn’t change.

Going from 144fps to 2fps sounds like a graphics driver issue to me, what was the problem then?

Incorrect again. If you try to do that on a non-Linux game, Steam just acts like it’s incompatible and the install button is greyed out without any indication of anything to do with Proton or how to make it work.

I don’t know. The “that’s the story of the time I tried to play games on Linux” indicates that I, and most every other user, doesn’t care enough to spend all day burrowing through search engines and support threads to figure out how to just make the thing work.

That’s why the Steam Deck, and SteamOS, exists.
