So I’ve got a unique situation. I just got a new laptop, and it has a nice CPU, but only an iGPU. It can certainly run older games, even with an iGPU, but I don’t know how I should go about it. I don’t like to use steam because it’s a proprietary, and I also don’t like to use wine because of the dependency and compatibility issues. I have tried emulation but that’s a good bit more demanding than native/translated games. Does anyone have ideas for a solution, or should I just quit trying and install another distro for gaming uses?

    Despite Steam being proprietary, Proton (it’s emulation system) is so profoundly stable I feel like it’s a necessary evil at this time.

    I haven’t found a single “windows” game yet in my library that doesn’t work with steam
