Bottles is a GPL3 licensed, amazing tool to use in Linux operating systems that support flatpaks. It allows one to interface with Wine without having to tinker with complicated prefixes and possibly polluting your file system and packages.

If a video game you want to play is not available on Steam's DRM store or you have a local copy of it, you can easily use Bottles to be able to run those games and integrate them into your desktop.

*Winblows games that refuse to run under WINE are not included.

Some games may require minor tweaks which may require you to download a bunch of files outside of steam. It’s why I prefer to have launchers that use Proton but also gives you a menu of options and features rather than having me search for them one by one

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Nicco Loves Linux: Developer for KDE who makes interesting videos.
David Revoy: An incredible artist with a cool webcomic, all done with GNU/Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm.
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply
