Does Proton for games on Linux work without using Steam? 🤔
I know vaguely of stuff like Lutris, so I'm still wondering how gaming on Linux looks if you're not completely bought into Valve's pseudo-monopoly. That should be in line with Linux thinking, right?
If it does, hell yeah. Then the other trick might be controller stuff outside of Steam, but one step at a time.
So, I started playing World of Warcraft again this weekend ... 😁
I've been playing it on and off since just after its European release in 2005. My oldest characters have reached legal drinking age. 😅
I stopped playing in 2021 as I really disliked the Shadowlands expansion. The one before was excellent, and I'm now playing Dragonflight from 2022, which also seems good so far. There is a new one coming after the summer or thereabouts. We'll see how long I last this time!
World of Warcraft still runs smoothly on Linux too, which makes me very happy. I hate having a dual partition setup with Windows because then I have to reboot to access my regular stuff.
Also, it looks so much better in 24x9 ratio as opposed to the previous 16x9 format, or shudder 4x3 like back when I started. Now all my action bars, chat windows and quest log widgets are out of my way. I opted out of running full 32x9 as I had to turn my head to read things. 😋
