I’m a long time Linux user that hasn’t gamed much in years. Previously I tried it by installing wine and going from there but I had to manually hunt for DLLs so I gave up. So I have recently installed Bazzite and stuff that I want is working :) But I’m not a huge fan of Bazzite outside of gaming. So how does one reasonably setup gaming stuff on another distro? Is flatpak the way? On Ubuntu you have many different ways to install Steam for example. What about Proton? I saw people wrangling multiple versions for different games.

If someone can point me to somewhere where tech landscape is explained it would be great.

    Is flatpak the way?

    Steam can be installed natively or in a Flatpak. The latter can be a little fussy every once in a while, depending on your setup, but has the advantage of somewhat better sandboxing.

    No no, tell me how its sandboxing is even adequate.

    In addition to ruining Single Source of Truth for installed state and weak validation and resource usage, it feeds you lies about sandboxes. AND YOU BELIEVED IT!

      No, you simply failed to comprehend what I wrote.
