Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, when I double click setup.exe, it opens ProtonTricks, rather than install anything. I tried running it through the terminal window directly and it looked like it installed but when I tried to run it afterwards I got errors like it couldn't find the files.

I dunno, I will probably just end up dual booting. This is EXACTLY the kind of experience that kept me from linux for the last couple decades. I am positive with enough effort I could get it working. I just don't want to put in that kind of effort; I don't want a new hobby.

Fortunately, when I'm not trying to install a 20-year old game made for the wrong operating system, things DO just work. :-D

It's by the GloriousEggroll guys, and I really liked it a lot. I would still be using it if it worked better with my laptop's hybrid Nvidia graphics setup. When I get around to swapping my desktop to linux, I'll almost certainly go with Nobara first.

FWIW, Pop!_OS is where I landed for great hybrid graphics support.

Not to sound like a dick, but how does this have so many upvotes? There's a button to skip it and never ask again right there.

Cross save would be great if we didn't have to pay again to play on different platforms. Until then, cross-save is a "feature" that looks good on paper but it effectively worthless in practice.

Fun fact: worked perfectly 100% fine out of the box on my Pop!_OS linux machine. I recently switched to linux (after trying every few years for the last couple decades) and I love that I can finally play games like this now!

Took me 5 hours this morning. I got 30-40 Mbps for most of the time until it started speeding up finally for the last hour. Finally in tho! (Except for this work meeting...)

I played it on Gamepass on Xbox when it came out and had no issues.

This is one of the main reasons I prefer playing on console these days. Generally speaking, bugs on console will also be on PC but bugs on PC won't always be on console. Yes, the performance ceiling is lower on console, but some of us aren't looking for ultimate performance, just a fun time gaming without bugs.

In my mind there's no question: the opening of The Last of Us is absolutely tragic.

I am using it specifically because of the hybrid Nvidia graphics on my laptop. Because they sell laptops with this setup, their OS supports it flawlessly. I'll be honest, I'd rather be using something like Nobara, but there were games that weren't working and I don't have the patience to figure out how to get them working. Pop just works. That's what I need.

Count me as one of those new Linux users. I've been trying to switch since the 90's and Linux gaming is finally viable. I know this is in large part thanks to Valve, so thanks, Valve!

Origins is definitely the best and the closest to that classic Bioware feel you like.

DA2 was polarizing but I enjoyed it. Very different from the first mechanically. Worth playing tho, IMHO.

DA:I was... not fun for me. I feel like they tried to modernize the formula and added all the worst parts of modern (at the time) games, namely HUGE time sinks for no reason because it's not a fucking MMORPG that makes money by the hour. /deep breath Sorry, I am still a little bitter at how that game turned out. Anyways, probably worth checking out, maybe you will feel differently. But it wasn't for me.

Katamari Damacy is one of the greatest games of all time. It's a shame the creator doesn't get rewarded more for it. Definitely looking forward to seeing what he does next.
