I thought I’d never see the day.

Is this really that rare? Maybe it’s because I pretty much exclusively game on Linux but I feel like I see that message rather often.
On a side note I feel like Linux gamers could help each other out by mentioning how well the game works with Proton in their review. Also if there’s any tweaks you need to do like using a specific version or bugs you encountered.
It doesn’t need to effect the over all review. Good to know though.
It’s completely random whether you get this, or not, in each of the waves they send out
You can do Proton related reviews on ProtonDB
i think it would be a good thing to also mention it on an normal steam review because that could mean that other user switch to linux that would have not because they think thair games don’t run on linux
Rasies hand. Finally jumping back into Linux after years of Windows. Didn’t really think of the gaming impact other than “so many games don’t work on Linux so I can’t use my main machine.” I’m lucky enough to have 3 computers currently even though 1 of them is a third gen i7 and the other I got for free out of the trash so it’s specs aren’t great either. Enoug for me to install Endeavor then Mint to see how it goes gaming on them.
Oh yeah I typically check there and the PCGamingWiki if I run into difficulties but it’s nice to not have to leave the Steam store page. Though admittedly I should probably check ProtonDB anyway in case an update caused a game to stop working with Proton.
I’m doing my part.
Review every game beginning with “this works great thanks to the devs native Linux support / or Valve Proton”.
The irony of that line used in a movie about brainwashed fascist drones is probably lost on you.
Bit rude if you ask me.
Yeah idk I have had a ton of these in the past.

Does Steam now have a way to search reviews? Because without one, I think those would be nearly impossible to find in an ocean of other reviews.
Have you looked at https://www.protondb.com/
Yes, but the suggestion was about Steam reviews, not protondb reports.
@ono I thought protondb reports brought you closer to what you were looking for. IDK if sifting through uncurated steam reviews would be helpful without Steam first implementing such filters that would remove all other reviews.

I’m not looking. I was responding to someone’s idea for helping others.

Yes, that is what I wrote. We are in agreement.
And for our Lord and Saviour Gaben!
All hail!!
Thank you for your service o7

Isn’t there a command you enter in the terminal or a steam launch option to force the steam survey to appear? I got it a few months a go but before that it was years back.
Your duty? You are just helping a corporation…
Helping a corporation to decide to invest in resources that will help me
Oh you sweet sweet summer child
Do you think valve hasn’t been investing a crazy amount in Linux gaming? Has any other person or company done more to make gaming better on the platform?
No I don’t think it has been investing a crazy amount.
The wine project has done MUCH more overall. Hands down.
And they haven been polluting out systems with proprietary software,nor they ever endorsed gambling,dlcs and always online drms:)
It’s not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn’t an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.
It’s impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.
Edit: I didn’t see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well…
Never said it was.
I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don’t. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.
I’ve been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.
I never said that also. Just stating that valve did one thing good for Linux gamers and 1000 bad ones. Wine did only good.
What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) “one” good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?
Wine never let me play games with this much compatibility or performance. This is just steam hate for the sake of it.
You do understand one is a consequence of the other yes?
of course i do im just not going to sit here and pretend that Steam hasn’t done a tremendous amount to make that accessible and easier. None of this is a dig on Wine I used it for years. idk why you’re coming off so aggressive about wine you need to chill
