What's on your mind?

Linux is making my head spin. O.o Turns out, I can't play my Steam games on Linux, with Steam, cause the partition system.... thing of my external HDD is NTFS, which wasn't a problem before when I had Windows. O.o Welp... Guess I'll be putting my laptops and Chromebook to good use. :3 Gonna back up files I wanna keep. Also installed the anime race horse girl game (Umamusume) on my SSD temporarily, and it worked.... Huh... O.o

I asked for some advice on your part.
One said: "Tell him to use Steam OS. Avoid other linux distro to avoid incompatability."
Another: "Why steam OS... Bad advice IMO. Bazzite, maybe."

I'll probably be switching to Steam OS as soon as Valve adds Nvidia GPU support into it. Bazzite was an option, but... the requirements require half of the RAM I have. (I have 16 GB RAM), so I avoided it. I ended up choosing Arch Linux. O.o As soon as things are set up and redownloaded (cause I have to also reformat my external HDD after backups, I'm gonna have to figure out how to turn on Scroll lock, so that my keyboard can light up. It's hard seeing what letter I'm typing when my keyboard ain't glowing. O.o

Well, a third just shouted "Linux Zorin OS runs steam very well, as long you don't forget enabling priton 9.0"

[kyonides]

What he means is Proton 9.0, guys.

Err, that depends a lot on what kind of game your talking about. For instance, RM software usually runs fine on Proton 7.0, and I think it's the same for games like FF7 or FF8. Recent games like those released in the last couple of years might run better on version 9.0, I'd say.

Oh. I remember trying that out on my Acer Aspire one time. O.o

I see. Makes me wonder what version of Proton made Umamusmue: Pretty Derby run on my SSD. Probably Version 9. But good to know what version of Proton to use for the RPG Makers I have on Steam.

Right now, my steam account let me open RMXP with Proton 9.0 as its compatibility layer. Now you can choose betwen version 7.0 and 9.0.
And yes, I confirmed what I said earlier about FF7 and FF8.
 Well, I also have the FF3 and FF4 3D editions there. Proton 7.0 or later seem to be working.
