i primarily use fedora linux and im looking a website or something specifically for linux versions of games, specifically stardew valley and hyper light drifter. any help would be great!
Bro just use Proton, it’s unbelievable how well it works these days
In my experience not just sometimes, but rather commonly. It often feels like the native Linux version, if it is even available, gets far fewer bug fixes - not like I can blame them, considering the far lower amount of Linux players, but sometimes I wonder why they even bother with it in the first place if they don’t want to bother with focusing on it, with how good Proton is.
What I find even more amazing is that with some regularity the windows versions run better (faster, fewer issues) in wine than on native windows. Used to happen more frequently when DX12 was still fairly fresh, but still happens.
When you say wine, you do mean proton, right? Much better for games from what I understand.
You do you and maybe you have no spare money, but Stardew Valley is probably one example of a game that is worth buying. Not too expensive, goes on sale regularly, available on GOG, creator still pumps out updates with small new content even.
I bought it on my iPhone. I want to transfer the save to my computer and play it there.
You can from Android, but I don’t think you can access the app data on iOS.
There are a few linux native games, with actually compiled for Linux binaries. Otherwise you’d better look at the WINE project and all that make many windows (as in win64) games runs on Linux.
For OP’s sake, I’ll add that many, many games in steam can be jiggered to work in compatibility mode on Linux. Its as simple as telling steam to use compatibility mode on all games, and checking proton.db for tricks.
With Heroic launcher, Epic, Amazon Prime (untested for me) and GoG too.
The only games I have so far been unable to play are Fortnite and an obscure FPS I forget rn, both with EAC.
WINE is the last thing I try after these easy solutions.

I think their guide moved from github to here:

I game on Linux (Arch, btw) and the only games that don’t work using wine/proton (so far) are those that require kernel level anti-cheat software. Everything else runs mostly flawlessly throgh Steam or Lutris.
