Well, shit. Unfortunate news from the Vinegar Discord: Roblox will block Wine in future releases.

This is going to end my “Steam Deck as a primary desktop PC for my kid” experiment.

      What if I don’t want to use windows? What if I find windows to be buggy and unstable and all around just unpleasant to use? What if I don’t want to have to reboot my PC or my deck every time I get the slightest urge to play shitty simulators or one of the millions of backrooms games?

        I wonder if it’s possible to get running via waydroid, ofc, not really an option on SteamOS, but outside of that.

            You need the binder kernel modules such as binder_linux which aren’t included in the SteamOS kernel as well a needing to config up systemd services, etc.
            Updating SteamOS will break all this do to it’s image based “immutable” nature.

        Some applications just require Windows. You have to acknowledge that if you’re going to use a non-Windows device.

        I have the same discussion with my wife every time some website doesn’t work. “Are you using a real browser or are you in Safari?”

          I think you’re missing the point that it is working and they are intentionally breaking it.

              Right, someone else does it too, so that obviously makes it OK right?

                just because doom runs on everything not every software needs to run in any environment. it’s a shitty move to actively break working things but in the end they are not obligated to anyone but their shareholders. and if they think that is what they need to do then let them.

                  And apathy is why so many businesses are getting away with anti consumer practices.
