Hi have been gaming on linux since before steam supported it, i have personally witnessed this
Cdid you just use to use wine back then?
Htf2 tmalloc ring a bell? 
Kstill can't get over that
Hback then you had to run the whole of steam in wine
Hand shuffle prefixes depending on the game you wanted to play
Hso technically you could end up with 14+ steam installs
Hand when steam became linux native, well all the linux native games had to be updated because
Hwell ubuntu or whatever got a new version so new libraries, old ones supplied in the depot no longer worked etc
Hand considering how lazy some devs and a lot of publishers are with linux support you can imagine how well that went
KWine is also genuinely a very good solution
Kit's just implementing Win32 on top of the Linux Kernel
Kas close to native as it could possibly be
Hi find it ironic that windows games have more long term compatibility in linux than native linux games (mainly because of how game studios ceases to exist for various reasons so the builds are never maintained)
MI'd be nice if steam recognised games automatically that need to be run in the same prefix
Minstead of having to make a system link so steam thinks they're different
Hthis is only a problem with non-steam games with their own launchers, not their problem
MSpore is a steam game
Mthat doesn't have a launcher
WMust have been fun with the steam updates with those 14 versions
MIts dlcs need to be run in the same prefix as the game and each other
Mits a really dumb process even on windows
MSince you have to run them separately at least once and launch the correct one
Hok that sounds like an issue for very old games only (or games that have been released/packaged weirdly for steam)
MThough, I'm not sure if spore still has an activation limit
Hno idea
MWhich also get fucky with wine
Yis there a way to use bazzite in game mode like i do on my deck if i have an nvidia card or is this still something thats broken for nvidia?
Kbroken on nvidia, driver issue
Hnvidia problem, promised to fix it almost 2 years ago, have done almost fuck all
Yi figured
Yi'll just keep waiting on nvk
Ynice to see a ujust command to swap between nvk and nvidia drivers btw
MWonder if nvidia is the reason valve hasn't properly released steamOS 3
KI don't think they have the staff to run a distro
MI mean they're still distributing 2 on their website
KSteamOS isn't even secure by default. No FDE, no SELinux, no kernel updates
Kno way it's coming out on a desktop in this state
Kwould be a nightmare
Yyeah i dont think we will see anything from valve until nvk is done but by that point we will also have other options..... like bazzite and nobara
YSeems like a lot of work going on by Valve to support Nvidia in Wayland/Gamescope so they are at least trying.
Yside note, bazzite is much more stable than nobara for me?
VLiterally anything else
YProbably more of a longterm plan, unless they have hardware partnership with Nvidia on a device
VLike no offense to Valve, but I don't think I'd ever choose SteamOS for my PC.
Kmost of that has been to fix nested gamescope
Kand was fixed to nvidia's drivers
Kdoubt it means much of anything
WMy record for not breaking nobara was 3 weeks
VAlso, I don't think Valve has done anything for Nvidia on Wayland because it's 100% not their space.
