    Steam Deck Linux compatibility

    This is a big one for me, honestly. I run some GOG games through Heroic but half the time they still don’t work.

    I think Heroic has this now though?

    Extremely rudimentary but yes.

    family library sharing

    Another good one. I share a massive collection with my family.

      Linux compatibility is fine. You can pretty easily install gog games by logging into your gof account on lutris. It’ll let you see your whole library and install directly from it, and any games that work in proton will work just fine using proton via lutris. You can also just add your gog game as a non-steam game and run it there.

        No they won’t.

          You can select to run them in proton, rather than just normal wine, in lutris. I’ve been doing it to run games from gog for years with few issues, namely games that are old and have the same problems working on windows as well. So… Yes they will?

              Can you give an example? I’m assuming we’re looking for something that works on Linux using Steam or some other store, but not using GOG - either directly or through lutris/proton. That might clear up what’s being asked.

                He won’t give an example because he’s talking out his arse and doesn’t have one.
