Loved the concept, tried it out, didn't work, at least not for RDR2 which I was trying to play. But how would it work, there is Linux, Bazzite, then there is Steam, RDR2 needs the Rockstar launcher, it's such an intricate web of dependencies, I'm not surprised something isn't working.

When silly DRM or a game launcher is all that is keeping you from enjoying a game, that is when you get the pirated version without any of this bs and enjoy it without remorse.

RDR2 has a gold rating: https://www.protondb.com/app/1174180

It should work with some tinkering.

I have finished RDR2 on Bazzite (story mode), zero issues.

RDR2 works great on my AMD Linux machine.

Worked fine for me on a Deck.

I apologize that nobody responding to you is understanding the point here that the last thing Linux gaming is, is consistent.

frankly at this point pirating the content seems a lot more convenient than some of these games, I wonder if those execs are trying to intentionally push us off

RDR2 works on my Steam Deck. I had to use desktop mode to sign in once, but after that it's just worked from gaming mode.

The screen is a little small, though, or my eyes are too old. Maybe both!
