90 Prozent aller Windows-Spiele laufen mittlerweile auch unter Linux
www.derstandard.at
Aktuelle Zahlen zeigen eine seit Jahren kontinuierlich bessere Kompatibilität mit der Windows-Spielewelt. Rund die Hälfte aller erfassten Titel laufen gar ohne Anpassungen, einige sogar besser

    “All games” type of lists aren’t necessarily very useful, considering the amount of shovelware that exists. ProtonDB’s Dashboard visualizes the data they have. You can change the category to, for example, “Top 10” or “Top 1000” games measured by peak concurrent players. Out of the Top 10 games, 60% gets a silver or better rating, while out of the Top 1000, 89% gets silver or better.

        Not the one you replied to, but I would like to say that you make a solid point, it is good enough to say 90% of games.

        Buuuut I would prefer being told 89% of top 1000 instead.

          I’d say there’s a big difference between “90% of all games” and “90% of top 1000”. 90% of all games might be playable but if the top 1000 are unplayable, that’s not very good.

        I guess I just wanted to add a couple data points to the discussion. One is that even though the article is about “all games”, it so happens that “top 1000 games” (measured in some way) happen to share the same number. And I didn’t want to round it because that would have been a reporting error.

        The other point being that out of the “top 10 games” (measured in some way), only 6 are playable on Linux. What I didn’t say is that one of the other 4 games cannot be played at all. Those are not numbers I want to see. I want all top 10 games to be playable.

          That’s fair. Honestly, the only games in my experience that don’t run on Linux have been artificially crippled with anticheat; I even play some old ones that don’t even run on windows anymore 😂

        So probably just steam games then.

        I’m curious if they count

        • multi-platform games which would show as “native” on protondb
        • native games that only actually work by using the windows version with Proton
        • the small number of games that only work on Linux but not windows
        • non-steam games added to the steam launcher

      I even play a game that doesnt have native modding support and I just run the community mod patcher .bat using wine, and then the game run like normal through Steam with 80+ mods. Its crazy the shit you can get away with by using Wine and Proton.
