I’m sure that the distribution doesn’t make the difference, since you have to access additional “non-Debian” repos either way. I added contrib and non-free to the Debian repository (/etc/apt/sources.list). In terms of distribution, I use Debian Bookworm (testing). Regardless, as it is not possible to link a not steam-wot-account to Steam! (If you ran WoT outside of Steam and you would like to switch to Steam, you have to start your tanking-career all over again!) Requirements for WoT on Linux Distribution EXE file has been downloaded.įinally I gave up WoT on Steam under Linux. When starting WoT via Steam, it was criticized that the game center is not installed, although the necessary. Basically, it always failed because WoT (and thus Wargaming) relied on their own launcher, the Wargaming Game Center. So far I tried unsuccessfully to get WoT to work via Steam. You could almost think that all I have to do now is get “good at the game”. From this it becomes clear that I probably already have a few rounds “under my belt” and have already researched and bought a lot in the game. I have been indulging in this MMO game for 7 years now. (I will probably write a separate article on this). As such, many of the games work very well on Steam 4 Linux & Proton. In addition to many other activities, I occasionally need a game or two to “come down” after a stressful day at work.Īpart from that, it would be a shame if many of the games you bought could no longer be used. Since I definitely want to “get away” from MS Windows at home, but can also be called a gamer, some of my games are quite important to me. Many Windows games now also run under “Linux” thanks to Steam & Proton.
