Valve is seemingly working on a way to make Windows Steam games playable on Linux
It looks like Valve is working behind the scenes on enabling Linux game compatibility tools to work on Steam.
These compatibility tools allow games developed for Windows to work on Linux, similar to how the popular tool Wine has been doing for years on Linux and other Unix-based operating systems.
Earlier this week, strings of code were discovered by SteamDB in Steam’s database.
The code appears to be referencing an as yet to be revealed compatibility mode, complete with several UI elements, a settings menu, and what looks like the ability to force it on.
