The new Steam Deck, do you think it will run FFXIV?

Steam literally develops Proton tho

You can list all the compatability fixes, emulators, you name it, but nothing is prefect and you'll always run into issues where you have to spend some time (and a few headaches) to get things working on Linux.

Trust me. I've tried Linux in the past and I don't want to deal with that anymore. It's really sad to say, because I don't really like Microsoft and Apple is infinitely worse, but both of those options are better.
