Big update to the Proton Pulse web app. Browsing compatibility reports got a lot nicer.
* resize game cards S/M/L/XL to scan how you like
* one filter setup, same everywhere on the site
* browse and filter GOG and Epic games, not just Steam!
* Site preferences (gear icon) for store tag placement and more
* Additional stats
If you use ProtonDB and want somewhere to submit compatibility reports, come check out Proton Pulse.
The main issue still with #GamingOnLinux: 9/10 times "it just works". And really, it does! It's great!
But when it doesn't... Let's say I just lost 2 days of my live getting #TheSims4 to run on my #SteamDeck again due to it breaking on the latest EA app. Couldn't find a fix yet online, so had to test some stuff myself and come up with my own solution. Uploaded the whole procedure to #ProtonDB, so with the next content refresh it should be public.
But really, people who aren't as deep into it Linux and the technical side of gaming on it likely wouldn't have figured out how to make it run. My eventual fix made sense if you know how Wine and Linux work, it's not that complex once you got the answer. But for a random gamer who's not further into the topic (and just wants to play anyways)? A bit much to figure out from scratch...
Luckily it does get better at rapid pace the last few years, I haven't seen these kind of workarounds needed in ages (so don't take this post too discouraging). But it's a good reminder that these issues aren't gone yet, and will be a blockade (in bigger or smaller degree) for mainstream usage until they are.
