Could you guys recommend a FPS game similar to CS2 that runs on a modern linux? Decent graphics (essentially GPU support) is of course fundamental, with multiple scenarios and multiplayer? Thanks

I meant something different, and Debian isn't the issue to me here (yes it may not be the most user-friendly distro out there, but that has advantages on its own).

What I don't like here is the approach taken by Steam. In order to ensure the widest possible compatibility with the products being offered, it fiddles with the end-user set-up installing what not (software repos, i386 supbort etc). For my own reasons I'm not allowing that to happen. The same goes for Wine, or any other software/config I am unaware what it does to my system, or has not been explicitly stated as a requirement beforehand.

In this aspect, the approach by Google Play (and F-Droid as well) seems to be better - it scans the target system set-up and offers only the apps suitable to that platform. Etc.

“Sounds like you’re new to Linux and having Debian teething issues”

Steam doesn’t set up any additional software repos. It installs proton within its own framework and that’s about it. I think you think you know more than you actually know.

I guess you’ll just have to make your own game and play it by yourself bud.
