Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Stardew Valley have native Linux Support. For Stardew, even the third modding API works flawlessly for me.
For the other ones, they are reported to run well on protondb.com, which is a good place to check Linux support (not only for Steam games). The reports there usually also list, which proton version works well.
Off the top of my head all but STO will work no issue
ProtonDB says STO is gold rates, but you gotta use the experimental branch. Otherwise, will work pretty flawlessly
PROTONDB is gonna be a great resource: it’ll tell you how playable any game is right now using Proton (you can force non steam games to run proton ezpz by launching through steam)
Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.
I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.
I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.
Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you’re curious about and if I own it I’ll try it out.
My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.
Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.
Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

I own Stardew. Ill check out the others and see if I’d like to buy them. I’ll do the testing after i get off work tonight and let you know.

Interesting. I may have to start switching over, then.
Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.
