2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

        Or I’m just wondering why you refuse to blame Microsoft for not having a working compatibility mode? Or use any other solution users have presented?

        Why can’t you just use a mod to enable support for the game? Have you tried and were unable to figure it out?

          Oh dear god, do you think Microsoft owns valve?

          Is that why you think modding windows will let it download stuff from valves service?

            Upgrade your windows install to a supported version and then use the mods to make the game work. Then you’ll have windows 8 or 10 or 11 and a working game.

            Next strawman

                Didn’t get an answer in the first place. I don’t know how a new legacy downloader would count as “original software”.

                  You’ve already tried that tactic, too, and I provided several links the last time you tried it.

                  If youre memory is this bad, and you are this prone to irrational anger, I strongly suggest you get someone you can trust to take you to the ER immediately for an evaluation, Your health matters.

                    You haven’t posted any answers to these questions, you hide behind “original” then demand a new piece of software be built and maintained.
