Certainly! Here’s a clearer version of the information:
You asked for additional background on how different operating systems handle Steam Proton. On Linux, you can install and configure Steam Proton through your Steam settings. However, MacOS doesn’t support any translation layer because Apple owns the platform, which led to Steam removing Proton for MacOS in 2018.
Yeah, sorry I'm on Linux Mint. I changed yesterday (still have Windows 11 on another SSD).
On Linux, install Steam and adjust Steam Settings to enable compatibility. Turn on both Steam Play options there. Keep in mind some games might need extra troubleshooting, but most should work fine. For specifics on certain titles, check the Protodb site.
P.S. Let me know more details next time before you ask. 😊
P.S. Whoops, I took too long to answer!
It seems like you were planning to go to bed, which explains why you didn’t share more details.
Hey there! Here are some handy tips to keep in mind:
1) Some games might face launch issues or minor glitches—check ProtonDB for fixes if you run into problems.
2) Try Winetricks; it can help get older titles running, especially if recommended on the site.
3) When dual booting, you don’t have to reinstall games on Windows—just import them into your Linux Steam setup.
4) For tracking, look into Goverlay and Mangohud (https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay).
5) If using an Nvidia GPU, switch to official drivers instead of Nouveau for a better experience.
Let me know if you need more details on any of these!
