no problem, my dood. happy to help. i was caught up on that problem for so long trying to figure it out after building my linux desktop. using linux for gaming can take a little know how but its way work it in the long run. if you want the easiest and smoothest way for gaming on linux install portproton. works out of the box for every game ive ran thro it.
open a teminal,
sudo apt install flatpak
(portproton isnt in the apt repository)
flatpak install portproton
(install the dependencies that the terminal will guide you through)
after that you just right click on the game and open with portproton
its not the best solution for ALL games but it will run nearly any game. if youre trying to play games with mods, to get them to work youll needa run them through steam with a specific launch option, e.g.: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command% OR WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b;winmm=n,b" %command% , depending on the game. youll have to look that one up yourself or ask me if you like, if youre in the situation.
games like YOMI Hustle (an itch game. also on steam now but i prefer the itch version) are better ran through wine and not port proton. for some reason portproton wont save your game data from whenever you play it, if you wanna use a terminal to launch with q4wine, super easy:
q4wine -b /path/to/game.exe
-b flag means its running a binary.
well, think thats just about all the useful advice i have for linux gaming at the moment. feel free to hit me up if you have any more troubles.
