Simply put, proton is great for playing single player games or even ones I don’t mind playing offline like dark souls. However I recently purchased rust and am limited to servers with each disabled. I think a good work around is playing in a vm with my Nvidia GPU run through the onboard GPU. Many of the guides I have tried have yielded no results, idk if I’m doing something wrong. Help would be appreciated, I’m using Ubuntu with a 1080ti and a Ryzen CPU.

    pretty much as secure as running steam link on any device. it’s basically an optimized remote desktop that runs through steam. I imagine it uses TLS or something for encryption, but it’s not like you’re giving it any access beyond whats on your screen and your keystrokes in game. I have not yet tried it over WAN but I imagine the quality would suffer compared to something local unless you have gigabit or better ISP hookup on both ends.

    What are the specs of the server you got? Does it have any pcie expansion? You’ll still want a box that is pretty much the equivalent of your desktop, but tucked away in a rack or well vented closet.

      Yeah it doesn’t even have a GPU built in, that’s fine. Thanks for the recommendation though.
