Sadly, the proportion of Windows users still on 7 and 8 is too small to make a huge difference for Linux, especially considering most of them will either install 10 or abandon Steam. For the most part, if they were going to switch to Linux then they would have done it already.

Linux is for pansies and Windows is for real men. If you want to be a true alpha male, you need to ditch that weak and wimpy Linux OS and upgrade to Windows. With Windows, you can kick ass and take names like a boss. You'll be able to crush your enemies and conquer new territories, all while sipping on a cold brew. Linux users are just a bunch of tree-hugging, organic juice-drinking, hipster doofuses who can't handle the heat. They're like the little kids who run away from the playground when the big boys come out to play. So, leave the Linux OS to the losers and join the ranks of the alpha males who run Windows. Trust us, your balls will thank you.

I put in to have my Steam account closed yesterday. It's not even about upgrading at this point, it's the fact damn near 1/4 of my games don't even work without an Epic account anymore.

And whatever this pic related shit is. Steam updated and now none of the workshop works for me anymore.

So what? There will always be people who say "just use another distro brooooo" even if your system is working perfectly.
Seems like half of you people who give up on Linux were just incapable of ignoring random banter.
>anon #1 said I have to use Mint and anon #2 said I have to use Arch. I guess Linux is impossible!
I don't even know what "fucked displays" is supposed to mean, but you can open the menu and type "display" to find the display settings interface where you can change resolution, orientation, and position of each monitor. Like you could have just done that instead of giving up because someone said Mint is bad.
--- 634352408
>>634351083
Kind of. I use syncthing to sync my savefiles. Of course it is manually done, but I just do it for long games and save them afterwards.

in these ranking systems anything below a perfect score actually means it has major issues that need to be worked around or can't be fixed
even the "top" score typically you will need to tinker to work out minor issues that you wouldn't even have to think about on windows
--- 634353048
getting rid of trident was a mistake
--- 634353318
>>634352624
Not that I even believe the rating system is accurate, but that's not what it says.
Platinum (27%) means working perfectly without tweaks.
Gold (another 47%) is supposed to mean working perfectly after tweaks.
Silver (another 13%) is defined as working with minor issues.
Bronze and Borked (only 4% each) are defined as having major issues and being totally broken, respectively.
The rating system is stupid and doesn't work, so in many cases, Gold actually means something more like "worrks perfectly for most users". But it certainly doesn't indicate major flaws. Now you'll cherry pick some Gold-rated game where one report says it crashes or stutters, and I won't care because that's not an argument.
--- 634354249
>>634352969
>in these ranking systems anything below a perfect score actually means it has major issues that need to be worked around or can't be fixed
That's not true, but if you really believe it then you are welcome to stay on Windows and just be happy there instead of going online to cry about what other people do. You might feel like you're "owning" the Linux tards and that might feel productive, but pretending that the most negative compatibility report for each game is the only true one will not, in fact, make it stop working for people who aren't trying to run it on a 10-year-old laptop or whatever fucking problem one guy had.

Valve stopped using Internet Explorer as their Html backend and went with chromium.
As Google has decided fuck Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 using an up to date version of chrome will prevent steam from functioning on those older platforms. Meaning client features will cease to work on the older platform.
--- 634360045
>>634340820
No, fat32 people are on Windows.
--- 634360094
>>634334826
Because google is breaking it upstream and Valve likely can't afford to dedicate full time employees to developing an actually parallel version of chrome.
Really if anything this is a sign that they should have their own inhouse software for handling html, or move back to using a client interface that doesn't rely on html for the Library and Store interfaces. (Which still exists, but only in the old Tenfoot UI and the New Big Picture UI.

Gold-rated games work on my machine.

Selecting the right Proton version barely even qualifies as a "tweak". I mean, I understand why it counts as a tweak if you want to track current out-of-the-box Proton compatibility, but as far as user experience goes, this is as close to perfect as you can get without actually being there: the solution, now documented for all literate people to see, can be applied by clicking a simple drop-down menu. Of course Linux isn't for people who think this is hard.
--- 634361047
>>634360459
So for the half of games that do work i need to look up which version of proton to use before running the game? And this "hardly counts as a tweak" ?
--- 634361417
>>634361047
No, the majority of games will just work with the current version of proton, and Valve automatically assigns a proton version known to run with particular games.
In some rarer cases (Usually much older games that are already finnicky) an issue may occur between proton versions in which case you can check protondb briefly to see if an older version of proton worked or if it needs a few settings added to launch options.
--- 634361663
>>634361047
Yes, selecting which version of Proton you want to use is hardly a tweak. The fact that you have to look it up is a nuisance if you're a whiny bitch, but in most cases, you don't. I don't look at ProtonDB unless I have a problem, which I usually don't.
Resident Evil is rated gold:
>https://www.protondb.com/app/304240
Worked for me. I didn't tweak anything. I didn't know it was rated gold until now. Why gold? I don't know. I'm not reading all that shit, because I don't need to. Works on my machine.
--- 634363225
>>634341072
Nobody's ignoring it. It's just what the fuck can you do about it. People scream about this literally every day, and it makes shit of difference because phone monkey say, phone monkey do, everywhere.
Moreover, even when there is an alternative, it makes it harder when they actively and continually sabotage themselves. Firefox keeps coming up with shittier and shittier bugs and problems all the time. You just can't blame someone for using an alternative like vivaldi or edge when mozilladevs want their own browser to die.
--- 634363845
just create a txt file and call it steam.cgf and put these 2 lines in it:
BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
BootStrapperForceSelfUpdate=disable
this will disable updates and you can probably play steam for at least a couple more years
