It really is a little absurd that “I’m considering switching to Linux on my laptop for better availability of games” is a real thought in my head. Valve have made strange things happen

@misty the fact that the Linux gaming renaissance is happening in part because one guy really loves 2B is like poetry, I love it

*gets out of cave*

What? Is N:A available on Linux now? It had been quite a deal breaker when I tried to switch to Linux last time.

Edit: I somehow completely f*cked my at's, and also typo...

@axnxcamr @misty @SnoopJ if by "N:A" you're referring to Nier Automata, it's been playable through Proton for years, I've played it on both my desktop and Steam Deck

...if it's something else then I have no idea 💀

Yes, I meant NieR:Automata.

I must admit that my process at the time has been installing Linux, installing Steam, playing a bunch of games and eventually wanting to play NieR:A, not seeing it in the available games and going back to Windows.

Maybe I ought to try again. 2026 might just be MY year of Linux on the desktop ;)

@axnxcamr @misty @SnoopJ ah, the "available games" is basically just games that either have native Linux ports or are officially SteamOS verified or something like that, I just enabled Proton for my entire library in the settings cause there are a lot more games that work despite not being officially verified than games that don't work at all (most of those are multiplayer games with anticheat)
