Which game? Linux can run a lot of Windows games these days.

Edit: I struggle to imagine why some people have downvoted this. Since doing so doesn't help anyone at all, I encourage them to use their words instead.

Linux doesn't need Steam to play Windows games. I won't pester you to name your game if you don't want to, though.

I know, Ment it the only game not on steam, otherwise I'd have no reason to stay on windows.

AS for the game it's the buggy beautiful mess that is Star citizen, any guide I've found for Linux is borked is someway or another. Though the new Vulcan engine is supposed to make it more suitable for Linux over directx

You keep saying this and we keep telling you you don't need Steam to play games on Linux. You don't need Steam to use Proton. So I don't understand why you keep talking about Steam.
