Heck, almost all the games I run are Windows+Proton anyway... a couple I have to set that manually because they have Linux-native versions, but they haven't been updated in ages (so don't have current UI and sometimes DLC). > The problem now is that the Steam client itself apparently relies on > the 32-bits for some reason, which I'm not sure why. Yeah, that's the catch. Has anybody tried talking to somebody at Valve (if they can be found)? This isn't a Fedora-exclusive issue; Ubuntu and SuSE (and all the downstreams of each) are probably looking at the same thing at some point. Like - do many Steam games even run well on a true i686? I get targetting a lowest common base, but I can't imagine anybody is using a 32-bit-only system for playing games in 2025. > If neither can be done, probably Flatpak is the remaining choice. Flatpak IMHO is just punting, trying to make the issue somebody else's problem. Somebody still has to be building the base that goes into the Flatpak (and I prefer running things on a Fedora base). I like the sandboxing Flatpak offers, when it's used, but would rather stick with how Fedora builds libraries and such. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
