Working to address the lack of Linux-related content on PC Gaming Wiki. Contributions here.
Why Linux?
- Because Linux is neat.
- Because information about Linux is allowed here.
- Because this wiki's editor community has Windows pretty much covered, to the point where there's not much for me to add, which is why I hardly ever used this account at all prior to switching from Windows to Linux.
Why not just post fixes on ProtonDB?
- Because ProtonDB is not designed for looking up fixes, no matter how many people use it for that purpose. It's for reporting compatibility, and although reports may include descriptions of tweaks used for improving compatibility, the information is not organized in a way that helps readers find solutions to specific problems.
- Because ProtonDB is specifically for Proton, and thus information about native ports and other compatibility tools is off-topic there, even if it's tolerated.
- Because ProtonDB is limited to Steam games.
Why not just post Proton fixes for Steam games on ProtonDB and then post non-Proton/non-Steam fixes on WineHQ AppDB and other Linux-specific sites?
- Because the whole point of PC Gaming Wiki is to solve the problem of information being scattered all over like that.
