Why not? I already did it and it works great.

Damn I had no idea Stallman could get down like that! I really hope he beats the fuck out of cancer and grows his hair back.

Installing battle.net in steam is really easy. Just add non-steam game in steam and choose the battle.net installer, then right click on it in steam and click properties, then compatibility, and choose Force the user of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton Experimental. Then just run it and install it like normal. Once it’s finished you just repeat the process for the actual installed battle.net program or whatever blizzard game you want. With this, you don’t have to mess with running custom commands. The blizzard launcher will be located somewhere like “/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2806461641/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe” where the big number after compatdata is something else. You can run the command find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata -iname '*battle*.exe to help find it. Also you can tell Steam to always use proton experimental if you want, it’s been good to me. Good luck!

I found that changing KDE activities (like a virtual desktop) back and forth fixes it.

You can still make shortcuts to your steam games to launch them outside of steam. However I have noticed that the Blizzard launcher doesn’t seem to fully quit after quitting the system tray icon, I have to click stop game in steam. I guess I still prefer this to having unused wine/proton process running in the background.

I pre-emptively stopped when I switched to PC gaming in like 1996 lol

This is the real reason, they were afraid consumers would think “3 is bigger than 2 so the Sony one must be better”.

I think Nintendo gets a pass because they never used numbers anyway: NES -> SNES -> 64 -> gamecube -> wii -> switch. The 64 of course was about the hardware technology and not the generation or anything.

In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.

I used Windows 7 in 2023. It’s the best windows that still ran stuff but obviously that’s changing. I made the switch in April and have been dumbfounded by just how great proton is at running all my games.

Linux plays 100% of games made for Linux.

It is, we’re in the Linuxmemes community dude. But also, what if it wasn’t? I didn’t know this was such a controversial statement lol

HELL YEAH BROTHER

Thanks for deciding for me.

Based! Now you’ll have to change your username too, in Linux our programs don’t have the .exe extension :)

Imagine complaining about Linux users instead of switching to Linux.

I moved my non-techie friend to Kubuntu and this was one of the speedbumps we ran into. I had to set .deb files to open with something other than the KDE get new software app. I think we’re using qapt-something. I wish discord didn’t treat us Linux users like 2nd class citizens. They coded support for capturing OS sound for Windows, but not Linux or Mac for that matter.

As an aside, I think this situation is a microcosm for different OS’s and it’s users:

Windows users: We’re the biggest group so sound works fine for us.

Linux users: Discord doesn’t support our needs so we implemented it ourselves with discord-screenaudio.

Mac users: Discord doesn’t support our needs and there’s no solution to purchase so I guess we’re just fucked.

Endeavor is just Arch with AUR repos enabled by default, so it’s either just as easy or easier.

Are there any mods to make it like StarCraft? I need aliens and spaceships and lasers and fast-paced 🙂

I’ll check it out, thanks bro!

I guess not because in my attempts to get this working I did put a script there. Does * expansion not work in these scripts? Mind sharing your script if you still have one? I have 3 tabs open to learn systemd when I have time, I did watch a video so far :)
