6 days agoi switched to linux early 2025 and still know very little about it. i tried several distros and finally landed on pop!_os, which worked out of the box for me running AMD cpu and RTX 5070. i tried lutris and heroic and bottles but didn’t have much luck, definitely because of my lack of linux knowledge, but steam with proton GE latest works fine for 99% of games for me. there’s an issue in some games where the mouse doesn’t work properly for some reason, but i learned that logging out of the DE and back in fixes it
if you go the steam site https://store.steampowered.com/about/ and hit install i think it detects your OS and chooses the correct install package. on mine it starts a download for a .deb file, i think that installs it natively? i know so little… but if you search up “install steam” plus whatever distro i’m sure you’ll find a lot of info
