I only know it’s five because I can subtract the numbers before anand after I click the “only show me Linux compatible games” filter button.

Just a heads up, to add on to this, just because Steam has a game listed as “unknown” or “unsupported” doesn’t actually necessarily mean that you can’t get it to work. So it might actually be less than 5.

For example, Steam says that the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is “unsupported,” but I got it working, including DSFix, just fine (and very easily).

Still has an annoying app installation way. This is why I use AppImage.

Hard disagree. I’ll take package managers over how Windows does is every time

This is what Bazzite uses to update system and it’s perfect. One command and it updates everything, including firmware even

This hasn’t been true for years

My experience with older Windows games, as well, has been that they just work with Proton (often when people trying to run it on Windows need to download an obscure dll from a stranger’s google drive just to get it to launch).

I don’t miss a single thing from Windows

You don’t need Steam to run games with Proton. Something like Faugus Launcher is much more light weight if you’re not interested in using Steam’s other features (though many of them are very good, like Steam Input)

This hasn’t been true for literal years

Proton definitely does not require Steam, if that’s what you’re suggesting.

I’m aware that it originally stemmed from wine, but it has come a very long way and is specifically made to work with games.

If you’re trying to play Windows games on Linux in 2026, you don’t use wine

Past behavior can be a pretty good indicator of future behavior. Brave has done several shady things, and they will do more shady things in the future. It’s just stupid to ignore that.

Edit:

Oh hey, look at that, not even a day has gone by and… https://www.xda-developers.com/brave-is-charging-60-to-remove-features-it-added-in-the-first-place/

Use Proton, not wine. Just run them through a launcher like Faugus Launcher

Lol I was going to say the exact opposite… All I need to do is type fish and I’m instantly in fish.

Personally, I prefer to have the tried and true, if basic, shell as my default, and if I want auto complete, etc, I’ll just type fish

I like fish, but I don’t think I’d use it as my default shell

Oh shit this comment is the one that finally convinced me

As for the lack of thought behind LLM backlash, that’s a factor of human psychology. In order to free up limited mental capacity, the human brain automatically simplifies rules it has learned consciously, imperfectly archiving the conscious method of learning it to long-term memory. People made up their minds about LLMs, and now the reasons are archived and no longer necessary for people’s response to LLMs. So now when people see LLMs, they don’t use the thought, they can just do the behavior they decided on and move on with their life.

What an absolute crock of shit. Did your local LLM model tell you this?

How convenient it must be for you to be able to disregard all criticism as simply “a lack of thought,” and that people have already made up their minds and don’t ever think about it again.

Honestly, it’s fucking insulting. Just because you’ve given up basic critical thinking doesn’t mean everyone else has.

They don’t know, it’s just a fancy term their local LLM spit out at them

People who lack nuance in their thinking

Talk about a straw man

Yeah, everyone with a local LLM running on their PC who suddenly thinks they’re an expert in software development: time to bombard the creator of Rsync with AI bullshit that he will need to wade through.

…yet

First time installing this app, but I’d also be interested to hear how people have customized it.
