  • Any new RPG titles specifically for a Linux distro?

    Have there been any new RPG titles specifically made and released for
    play on Linux distros? I'm not talking about titles played within an
    emulator (?) like DosBox on Windows.


    I'm thinking about setting up a desktop with say Mint or Ubuntu, but
    don't know what RPG games may be available to play. And where to buy
    them?

    Thanks.

    Steam with proton is your best chance...

    Also, Lutris, it will help you to install zillions of games, from 70-80's
    text games/arcades/consoles being ran under emulators to modern ones under WineProton in a total graphical way.

    Use Steam with Proton... works very well for most titles, I would not
    consider proton an emulator, but 95% percent of my library (1100 titles)
    work one way or the other with it!
