If you focus on the top 50 games on Steam, how many actually work on Linux, whether it's natively or via Proton? And what is stopping us from getting more?
You had issues getting Elite running? There’s a short thread on GOL about getting it running, but basically for me it’s boiled down to one command:
protontricks 359320 -q dotnet472 win7
(Obviously, you have to run Elite at least once to have it fail first, which creates the PFX directory which that command then modifies).
That’s worked on Manjaro, Mint and most recent PopOS. On the latter, I had to run it two or three times before it “took”, which was weird (by deleting the PFX directory, then re-running the game to fail, then trying the command again), but so far so good - several hundred hours on Linux now, mostly in VR.
Thanks, I’ll try that. I did try some recommended protontricks tricks but I think they installed some variation of mono, which did not work for me. Also the horrible ED launcher at the time even had problems on real Windows, so any such problems might have been even worse on Proton.
