Back when you had to install steam in wine and then for a while you would have native steam and wine steam in the same distro install. Now it's so easy that I figure anyone talking shit about gaming on Linux only plays those rootkit anticheat shooters or hasn't played games since having kids or something and have become one of those people that are shocked to hear what they thought were current gen consoles are actually really old already.

I actually found an old /home drive of mine this week where I had exactly this setup, so painful.

Trying to find the correct steamapps folder for the particular instance of the game and going through all the dot folders and wine folder structure... that hasn't actually improved much now that I think about it.

Gaming on Linux in general has improved a lot more than the pollution levels in my town at least.
