Maybe. It's unlikely except for multiplayer, and even then pretty rare. The Riot games won't work because of the rootkit, but nearly everything else has. Protondb.com if you want to check or ever need help getting something to run.

Have you tried it yet? Try installing Proton on your Linux install and pointing Steam to your existing folder that you use on Windows. It should be able to just boot them up like that without an issue.

Just a word of warning, Windows may fuck your dual boot plans up with an update. I lost all the data for my filesystems on my main drive with a Windows update. It decided to delete grub and the partition data. I recovered a lot of it, but I was never able to get Windows to boot again. That's why I'm 100% Linux now. I just decided Windows wasn't required anymore and installed everything fresh, and gave 100% of the drive to Linux.

I would assume Steam to be lower because gaming was one of the major roadblocks for gaming until recently, and many gamers are still scared of switching over. It also assumes no dual booting and whatever they ran the check on is the registered OS. This would register both potentially.

Team's data is also useful, but it's different data.

There are margins of error I'm sure, but you're just making things up.

I saw a wrist mounted thing the other day, and I was thinking a modern touchscreen version running Linux could legitimately be great with a good mount. This would be perfect for that. You only need a wrist mount that won't make your arm sweaty...

Except the Trumps get rich off of it. I don't know if the stupid people losing out so the rich assholes can gain is ideal for me. I'd rather the stupid people keep their money.

It is a significant departure from Trump’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies during his stint in the White House when he called bitcoin a scam.

Is it a departure? Trump running a scam seems perfectly in line with his previous stance.

Do you think normal rich assholes aren't doing this stuff? That's the whole issue with the Epstein stuff. Basically every rich asshole was involved. It takes a certain type of person to become so rich and powerful. Those people tend to like to have even more power over people, which makes minors the perfect target for them.

Never trust a rich and/or powerful person to be good; you'll only be disappointed.

Famous internet people are generally willing to exploit people for their own gain. Not all of them, but particularly the most famous and powerful. The ones who aren't usually can't become as large. If you're willing to exploit people for fame, money, and influence, you probably aren't going to stop there.

For sure, all that matters. I was just pointing out that some people like to say an oversized truck is the only thing that can tow, which is not true at all, and comes with many drawbacks. Personally, I'd love for us to get back to small trucks, but you literally can't but them anymore.

My parents seem like normal somewhat rational people. They are still planning to vote for Trump. Please stop with this "we've already won" shit. It can only cost us the win. Go vote. It's far from guaranteed. It honestly looks to be pretty close to an even race right now.
