    Call me when my DRG works “out of the box” like every guide says, when xlink kai and dolphin stop bugging out for some reason, when Ryujinx and other lan emulators or games allow me to connect through my vpn with my friend, or when tModLoader stops doing weird things with the light.

    I am tired of trying and troubleshooting, it might just be my hardware, it might be something else, who tf knows? But doesn’t matter how much I want to jump ship if the ship just doesn’t work for some unknown reason.

      I’m going to assume that you do not mean Deep Rock Galactic with that acronym because that has worked out of the box since day one I play it regularly with friends on the steam deck and on my Linux desktop and the only thing I had to do was click play in Steam.

      Can’t help you with your emulators, I used dolphin to play dokepone Kingdom regularly over VPN without any issues didn’t have to do anything special either so that one just sounds like a skill issue

      If you don’t have previous experience with Linux, there will be a learning curve, but depending on your hardware, it may be gentle or steeper. Likewise, your choice of distro may matter a lot, at least at first.

      But you should take ProtonDB ratings as a good indicator that “might just be my hardware” is correct, at least for DRG. It also works out of the box for me on both my main rig (=currently running Pop) and the Steam Deck.
