It’s as good as any other distro, in to say pretty good. There are some cracks that just refuse to work in Linux, but most are pretty easy to get going.
I’m not on Arch, I’m on Gentoo, but I’m using Flatpak, so this should apply to you too.
Just get Bottles.
I’ve tried it on:
- Assassin’s Creed 1
- Assassin’s Creed 2
- Nier Automata
- Nier Replicant
- Crash Bandicoot
- Dishonored
… and probably some other titles I can’t recall on top of my head.
The gotcha is that you may have to install the right library dependencies (e.g. DVDX, .NET, Mono, Redistributable C++, probably fonts), which can be done on the Bottles.
I use Bottles for most stuff, and everything works smoothly.
Same, I tried lutris but it just wasn’t working consistently. Bottles is both easier and consistent for me.
Lutris still got them scripts tho for specific needs.
I’ve been incentivised not to, because Steam + Proton work so well.
Probably worth downloading some backups and getting them running though, in case Steam decides to rug pull
Same here. Haven’t even thought about pirating games because Steam is just working.
Seems to me that Spotify and Steam has been really successful preventing piracy in music and games, but the streaming movie industry has failed because they got greedy.
Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it.
I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline.
