I haven't done much for modding, but I did mod up Beat Saber recently with ModAssistant. What I did was add the ModAssistant exe file as a non-Steam game, then put this in the launch options:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/620980" %command%
The 620980 is the AppID for Beat Saber; you'd have to find it for each game. What this does it run the exe file in the same prefix as the game, which is good for making sure that any changes to ini files (etc) in AppData actually get written to the right spot. It worked great, no different than on Windows.
The tragic story of a game that was infected with Denuvo after release day.
They are going to play classic Microsoft and destroy their competition in this way, then they will do what they want when they have a stranglehold on the market.
Keep in mind that they added Denuvo to the game, apparently post-launch.
Ah shit... Removed it from my wishlist. At least I didn't already buy it.
Heads up that you can hit [escape] key while booting or shutting down in order to see the console and tell what the computer is actually doing.
I've boarded the Linux train but not everyone can replace their OS nor troubleshoot issues, and good luck bringing your computer to a repair shop if you do run Linux. For the average person, they need someone to help them whether it's Windows or Linux.
Honestly, gaming on Steam is pretty straightforward on Linux. You just have to go into the Steam settings and allow Proton (the compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows games on Linux) to not restrict your game list to tested games. It's a single checkbox. If you do anything more than just play the games (ie., you install mods for the games) you'll need to dig in a bit more. I suppose that's the same for Windows, though.
Really, I think the issue is more Windows applications that aren't available for Linux if you're a professional. People need their Adobe software.
Additionally, you'll need to be able to troubleshoot and fix issues if you don't have someone to do it for you, just like on Windows. The difference is that Windows can be supported by almost any computer enthusiast whereas tons haven't learned the ins and outs of Linux.
Well, he technically shot the air too.
I feel I have less of a choice in operating system than I do browsers or search. Just saying.
I see it more of a response of the dumpster fire that is Windows and Microsoft.
