Hi everyone, I just finished writing a guide on everything you need to know in order to game on Linux. It covers Proton (Steam play), using Heroic Launcher (with Wine-GE), and all sorts of tidbits and tips I wish people had told me earlier. I hope this can be useful to someone out there!

> We've been working on a guide to help players on all major GNU/Linux distributions play visual novels for the past few weeks. This guide is designed to be used by both beginners and experts, with minimal need to touch the command line. > > openSUSE wins the award for "never had to touch the terminal" and "simplest setup instructions", but Fedora is a close second. > > While there are a few existing visual novel guides for GNU/Linux around, we've tried to fill in the gaps we noticed. We've put a lot of research into this guide and ensured it is accurate while remaining simple and approachable. > > If you're interested, start here! > > We have an extensive Troubleshooting section on our Problems page if you're having trouble getting visual novels to work, too. > > --- > > I wrote this guide with a lot of help from two other people, including /u/neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space.
