Does this trick actually work?

    Try a little Proton. There’s also Lutris. There hasn’t been a game I own that I haven’t been able to play on Linux.

      Proton is amazing as long as you don’t get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

      Thankfully I don’t play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

      Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can’t run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.

          Hmm, I can’t seem to find it. Maybe you were thinking about Visual Studio Code? I know for sure that runs natively on linux.

              Yeah, not that great of a naming convetion with that one. At least my servers still run linux, so I have somewhere to fall back to when windows gets on my nerves :-D

          Yeah well, that’s what happens when you have friends that play those games, and you like to get together with them.

          You should try it sometime.
