Yo is this gonna happen? I use my desktop for compute reasons (machine learning), and it runs Linux. I want to keep doing the machine learning while being able to play games.

@3enilly Maybe use WSL for your ML work and keep Windows as your main OS? I had to resign to such things if I really want to game.

    This is unfortunately not an option, especially because I need to reliably change my kernel for backwards-compatibility purposes.

      Valve has announced Steam Deck. It's a handheld PC that's supposed to eventually run all games of the Steam library, and it runs Linux.

      From Valve's FAQ (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/faq):

      My game uses anti-cheat, which currently doesn’t work with Proton - how do I get around this for Steam Deck?
      We’re working with BattlEye and EAC to get support for Proton ahead of launch.

      So Apex Legends should work on Linux soon. How's the progress?

        Also, will this sort of translation layer be officially supported? I'd feel bad if it weren't and I could inadvertently see through walls due to missing textures every now and then, but if it is official, then that's Respawn's issue, not mine.
