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!
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 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.
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.
Idk about the latter, but Stardew Valley you can get from GOG or Steam for a pretty reasonable price, and it runs natively on Linux. You can transfer your save files between Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android for SDV, at least. If the second one you mentioned doesn’t have a native Linux version it should run through Steam through Proton. The website protondb can be used to find game compatibility.
Most of the original d&d games, baldur’s gate 1 &2 and neverwinter nights etc, have Linux native versions and go on sale for a couple of dollars. You can easily sink 100s of hours into them, especially neverwinter which has amazing community made campaigns.
