I feel that the players' demands and skills evolved A LOT over the years since Classic Doom, and Doom 2016 does a good job catering to them. I hope that it's possible to finish the game without having those runes installed. some checkpoints are much harder to reach than others. I found no significant drops in framerate or delays in the controls.Ībout the game itself, it's very enticing, almost addictive, but I find that the difficulty is quite irregular. The only add-ons I have on the notebook are external monitor, mouse and keyboard.Īpart from a few rare lockups (yes, they happen on Linux), the game runs, overall, very well. Old games are good in that they don't demand much of a hardware. especially because the computer is a notebook with an Intel Iris GPU, not a super-tower water-cooled gaming PC with the meanest/biggest NVidia/AMD video board. I finally got the guts to install Doom 2016 on Ubuntu 22.04 using the Proton add-on, and I was positively surprised. Ironically some older Windows Games run better on Linux and Proton than on Windows 10.

It also autodetects your other Systems in the Network and wants to stream Games from your Main Machine (at least it wanted to do it on my small Machine runing in the living room).īut hey, what kind of "Work" is this, seven Clicks?Īnd most Stuff runs out of the Box, without messing around in Wine. You just click install on the title and it works, nothing to configure.Ĭould be an Option, i am running Steam on Linux Mint and when i first installed it, it was like you discribe.īut i wanted to see which Games of my Library run natively on Linux and clicked on the little Pinguin.Īfter that, i have to enable Proton manually for every Game and i was to lazy to search how you can change it.

I don't know if that it's different for the Steam Deck, but for me I didn't need to enable Proton, it was automatically used for any Windows only title.
