    I use Linux and have for decades. I struggled for years with wine and crossover to run games. I buy from steam, from blizzard, and epic. Heroic made the process of installing easier years ago, but Faugus launcher has become my go to when I install a new distro or change computers.

    I’m a little jealous of how easy things are now to install games from back when I started but I’m so glad to see it’s an option for people who just want plug n play. I’m glad to see big chunks of the struggle are in the past, even if there are minor struggles still. But there’s always progress and the more lazy people who buy from people and companies who produce for Linux, the more likely they’ll continue to improve the experience for everyone .

      Absolutely, back when we got PlayOnLinux that was a great help too. But unfortunately that became so buggy it was almost useless.
