Hi! Absolutely none game with Steam Proton doesn't works! But when I use Wine-GE with Lutris (or just use Wine-GE instead of Steam Proton) - everything works fine! Where's the issue may be? 🤔

OS: Devuan

...will encounter many absurd and esoteric problems, all of which ultimately stem from the fact that the vast majority of linux software is developed with systemd as the default, assumed, init system.

Unless the application in question is directly interacting with systemd, then I believe this is overblown.

Applications largely simply expect certain features to be supported. DNS, for example, could be provided by systemd-resolvd or by dnscrypt-proxy.

This isn't being built around systemd, this is being built around the expectation of a feature. This feature can be provided by different applications and still function.

In my experience, providing the features expected is far more important than providing specifically the systemd API.

Basically, any Linux OS that doesn't use systemd should be considered entirely experimental, beyond any software that the OS devs explicitly state they support.

Hard disagree.

I think the init system is more abstracted away from the developers of a game/typical user app than you are implying.

But if it will works 🤔. And what can I do to do now? Remains only to have try to install some other OS.

Also I've try this instruction: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/HowToEsync.md

But this also was be helpless 🤷

I would look at the proton log of a game that doesn't work.

How do I create logs of a game I run with Proton?

Proton will create a log file for a particular game, if you set the launch parameter to:

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

The log file will be created in your home folder with the name scheme steam-$STEAMID.log. For example:

$HOME/steam-379720.log
