• Should I publish a Linux verion if my game at Steam? It's worth it?

  Steam Deck runs Linux (some variant of Arch apparently), so all Windows games get run through Proton, which is essentially a fork/superset of wine that focuses on adding stuff for gaming. - Source: Reddit / 21 days ago

• Best Linux for my chop computer?

  For carbide motion my suggestion would be to start by just booting over to Windows when you need to use it, but maybe think about moving over to linux based replacements that apparently should be able to control a shapeoko etc. With no problem, such as ugs or cncjs, but they will require a bit of tinkering that'll be way easier once you're used to linux. Although I'm not optimistic about using it for Carbide... - Source: Reddit / 25 days ago

• Modding The Witcher 3 Using Wine on SteamOS (Mod Manager & Script Merger)

  Q4Wine is a Qt GUI for Wine. It will allow you to run Windows executables out of the box. Flatseal is a graphical utility to review and modify permissions from your Flatpak applications. We will use it to give Q4Wine permission to access our filesystem so that the Mod Manager and Script Merger can access game files. - Source: Reddit / 27 days ago

• pls help, it used to be 3.88 gb and now its 3.43.

  If there's any Windows specific software that you need, 95% of the time you'll be able to run it with Wine, or there'll be an native alternative available. For games, over 87% of the top 100 Steam games run either natively or through Wine, according to ProtonDB. In my own Steam library, all of my 39 games run fine on Linux. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
