I downloaded the game files, mounted the .iso files and added the game to setup.exe to my steam library and installed the game under the mountpoint. When i click play in steam i just get back to the installer. Running the SkyrimSe.exe in steam(located in the CODEX directory) doesnt work. I use Arch Linux.
You have issues running Windows executables on Arch?
I’ve had issues running stuff even on debian. Too often the people packaging things just assume you’re using Windows to run your Windows executables like some kind of noob.
Tell me you haven’t touched Linux gaming in the last few years without directly saying it.
YES. Some games don’t always work via Proton. Proton is Steam’s compatibility layer. That’s how the Steam deck works. It’s based on Arch and uses Proton to make Windows games work on Linux.
