Could you guys recommend a FPS game similar to CS2 that runs on a modern linux? Decent graphics (essentially GPU support) is of course fundamental, with multiple scenarios and multiplayer? Thanks

I meant something different, and Debian isn't the issue to me here (yes it may not be the most user-friendly distro out there, but that has advantages on its own).

What I don't like here is the approach taken by Steam. In order to ensure the widest possible compatibility with the products being offered, it fiddles with the end-user set-up installing what not (software repos, i386 supbort etc). For my own reasons I'm not allowing that to happen. The same goes for Wine, or any other software/config I am unaware what it does to my system, or has not been explicitly stated as a requirement beforehand.

In this aspect, the approach by Google Play (and F-Droid as well) seems to be better - it scans the target system set-up and offers only the apps suitable to that platform. Etc.

Steam doesn’t set up any additional software repos. It installs proton within its own framework and that’s about it. I think you think you know more than you actually know.

I guess you’ll just have to make your own game and play it by yourself bud.
