    @helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.

    Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.

    On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

      Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.

        @helenslunch Lucky you 😄

        I had to installvc resistributable and also .net on almost any machine with a fresh installation.

        However it is true that i switched to linux as main gaming plataform as soon as steam started to be workable on linux, so things might have been changed.
