The usecase being discussed is Steam Deck though. And it works perfectly on there.

I guess they are referring to playing some specific games or software which don't work well on Linux even with proton.

That's the great thing about the deck; You can use it for whatever you want.

I personally would rather not play those games than worsen the general experience by installing Windows. Other people feel differently and that's okay.

Yeah, Mod Organizer 2 beta is still broken due to a qt6 dependency issue with WINE. Vortex Mod Manager still has issues and is a pain to even install. Certain mods for games require manually renaming DLL files and figuring out which ones to rename and what the name should be. You can’t simply treat it like Windows, which means for some usecases it’ll be far more complex to handle.

Mod Organizer 2 beta for Starfield still doesn’t work properly because of a qt6 error in WINE

You’ve got to rename .dlls nonstandard because the way they’re made breaks the WINE layer

But tell me again how it works perfectly? I’ve been using these tools since before the Steam Deck existed lol

Edit: Three weeks ago you were complaining about an issue with steamOS and external display resolution.

Tell me again how it’s all perfect?
