    You can. Now it’s mostly games with kernel anti-cheat that don’t work.

    For epic and gog you can use the heroic launcher. For ther stuff with an installer, you can use wine to install it and manually add the exe to steam.

      Ugh I have ONE game that’s 20 years old and does not work on Linux whatsoever. It’s an extremely important game to me because my best friends and I play together. We’re the only people who play it anymore. I can’t live without it, so I’m stuck on Windows for my main game machines.

      My other machines? Linux lawl

        I have the same issue. I have a 10 year old laptop that I use as well. My solution was to dual boot Linux mint & Win10. Most of the time I use Mint on that computer and load the windows only when playing that game.

          I did in another comment~ it’s a Half Life 1 mod called “The Specialists”. It’s amazing.

              Hahaha a person of culture.

              I’m huge on the Contender. I’m terrible at naked kung fu.

              I have the least experience amogus my friend group but sometimes I do a bit of blow while playing… Every time I do, I top the leaderboards. It’s wild. PED.

                I played this a lot back in the day online, and it was the absolute jam at LAN parties. Happy to hear people still keep the magic going

                  Oh heck yeah. My mate has a server with like 200 maps or something ridiculous. All the servers online are dead unfortunately. When they spin up their server and we play, occasionally a random Ukrainian person will pop in hahaha
