Steam on Linux/Optimus on Linux
#12
RE: Steam on Linux/Optimus on Linux
I have an allergy to gnome. I'm really a KDE fan at heart, but I'm not interested in downloading several hundred megs right now when everything seemingly works.

I make use of vanilla wine (though I use the wine PPAs, the xserver-dev PPAs). I can't really use the Windows Steam on Linux due to my shared 4th partition (that I put all my personal data on) being NTFS and Windows Steam having a notorious NTFS corruption bug when run via wine...

Native Steam, however, was more than happy to use my Windows Steam app directory.

POL is just curated Wine in self contained flasks. From the issues I get with Starcraft 2 in the sound warbling, I suspect it's not something solvable with native DLLs or a regedit tweak.

I guess that's why I have to keep Windows - for the games.
