    It’s not just Steam Deck. It’s also Proton, which managed to do what Lutris couldn’t: make Magic Arena consistently work in WINE on my Linux desktop.

          Would recommend, I actually enjoy interacting with my computer now rather than just tolerating Windows

              That’s easy, just change the boot order so it defaults to Linux. If it’s a pain to boot into Windows, you’ll use it less and naturally replace your usage with Linux.

              Try it for a week or two, you probably won’t feel the need to go back. Make the switch today.

                  Good luck!

                  I haven’t had any issues accessing NTFS from Linux, though running applications in Linux from NTFS is not a recipe for success. Only share data across OSes and everything should be fine.

              Depending on what you do with it it’s easier than you’d think (provided you have a decent knowledge of Linux)

      I still can’t figure out how to implement proton into my wine build

        Use ProtonQT-up (I think that’s the name) and Lutris. Works perfectly

          Nah still doesn’t work, lots of errors and poor performance, but that’s probably because my OS is manjaro. I’m definetly going to switch to another distro, but don’t know which one

            I really like openSUSE Tumbleweed, it basically feels like a polished rolling release.

            But what exactly are you trying to do? If you’re using Steam, it just works. You can even add non-Steam games to Steam and use Proton with it. If you can’t figure it out, post the issues you run into and surely someone will lend some tips.

            Manjaro was my first distro, and I still have a soft spot for it despite its flaws, but I tend to think Garuda now does a better job filling the Manjaro niche in just about every way.

        Despite what the OP of this thread said, I use proton through Lutris. I haven’t used any other tool for this yet, though I hear heroic games launcher is good too.

        I’m not looking at it right now, but on Lutris you can add a new game, say it should run under wine, and then pick one of the versions of wine with proton.
