Does Proton for games on Linux work without using Steam? 🤔

I know vaguely of stuff like Lutris, so I'm still wondering how gaming on Linux looks if you're not completely bought into Valve's pseudo-monopoly. That should be in line with Linux thinking, right?

If it does, hell yeah. Then the other trick might be controller stuff outside of Steam, but one step at a time.

@gmr_leon I personally would stay far away from anything Epic, I hestitated to even use Lutris for the free games.

@averyminya ? I appreciate the advice, however I'm confused what may have suggested an inclination toward Epic

I lean towards smaller Valve/Steam competitors for commercial games when possible, like Itch or GOG. Primarily for their games being DRM free

@gmr_leon Phew! Not suggesting that you specifically were, but there have been many times where Lutris + getting away from Steam tend to result in the "Thank Goodness for Tiny Underdog Epic".

Every once in a while I forget that Lutris supports more than just EA/UBI/Epic because of it. No harm meant!
