Teknologi play-Windows-games-on-Linux Valve yang ajaib didasarkan kembali, diperbarui, dan siap untuk memainkan Resident Evil

As a special treat to me personally, Valve has released a new version of its Proton compatibility layer—the special sauce that lets Windows games run on Linux platforms like the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and your desktop if you're cool. Proton 11 is out now, freshly rebased on Wine 11, and accessible to Linux users via the compatibility tab in your Steam settings, or on a per-game basis via the compatibility tab in your games' individual Steam settings pages.

This is the Proton version that went into beta last April, bringing support for Deadly Premonition (a personal all-timer) to Linux among a raft of other fixes. Now it's out for real, with all manner of tweaks and patches and updates, the most important of which for me is "Fixed KDE window maximization support." I kept having issues with that on my desktop, which is hooked up to my TV.

Anyway, the complete list of now-playable games is a real hodgepodge, ranging from 1996's Resident Evil (which only hit Steam in April, explaining Valve's 2026 concern for it) to Metal Gear Survive, of all things. You can find a full list of supported games in the patch notes below.

I'm always a little surprised to hear of games 'getting support' in Proton, simply because my own experience with it has been everything I want to play, unless it is an only-came-out-today release, just works. But I imagine the work of ensuring true and universal compatibility across the entire stable of Windows games is never actually, truly finished.

Anyway, the headline item is that playing games on Linux is somehow even cooler today than it was yesterday (which was very cool, all the kids agree). Here are the full patch notes for Proton 11.
