2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    I don’t think Steam actually recommends any distro since some time anymore

    Yes, they still do. I was looking for help with an issue and their response was no help given because I was on Mint and not Ubuntu.

    For the jackasses downvoting me: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1114-3F74-0B8A-B784

    Currently, Steam for Linux is only supported on the most recent version of Ubuntu LTS with the Unity, Gnome, or KDE desktops.

    I asked for help with steam library locations and issues with them and they sent me this link and said there was nothing they could do.
