  • It is possible, can you confirm the filesystem your steam install is on? The T7 mount looks like an automatic user mount, is it a standard ext4 or btrfs partition? Also, why is it mounting there, not in a fixed location denoted in your /etc/fstab file? If it is just automatic mounting there are some possible issues that could come from that, it may be worth testing another windows game through proton installed in the same steam library folder.

    That all said, you definitely need to have proton installed. If you go to your steam library you should be able to search for proton there. I would recommend installing the current version, the experimental, and if it is there proton-ge. I haven’t used Debian for a while so I don’t know what is in your repos but searching for proton-ge there may also have results.

    Once you definitely have the latest and experimental versions try switching version, testing with protontricks. It should show up both versions and allow you to switch between them without problems. You may also need to define your proton prefix as an environmental variable, something like PROTONPREFIX=/path/to/your/T7/proton/prefix/

    If you can’t get that going consider jumping on to a matrix channel for more second by second help, tonnes of people are happy to help you get wine/proton working correctly.


  • When you need a component such as the .NET framework you can install it in Wine/Proton using the Windows installers. The .exe you are being recommended should be able to run, but the other way around it is to use something like protontricks, a proton version of winetricks (technically it uses winetricks and is more of a set of integrations and a GUI, but yeah). Using protontricks you can install the .NET framework, the C++ runtimes, dxvk, and other tools. I would recommend learning a little about how to use protontricks and maybe look for a few specific tutorials for using it with specific games to get a feel for it.


  • I would second this. My partner was on an anticonvulsant for a bipolar diagnosis. Why? Because it is used, at a lower dose, as a mood stabiliser. She had limited effect at the sstandard dosage, so the psychiatrist went up in dose to get an effect.

    Ultimately she got off all of the meds and is doing better without them, but that is her and her experience, the meds may be useful for some people and not others.


  • Conditions that are on the label are the conditions the medication is intended to treat, in this case mild to moderate depression. Off label would be using a medication for something else, like using an SSRI to treat hot flushing in menopause or antipsychotics as a sleeping aid. Technically it may work, but the studies are not there to back it, evidence is poor, so it is not shown to he effective and may have associated harm.


  • If someone does not treat you with respect you are not their friend, you are their pet.

    It is no reflection on you at all, this is purely on them, but if they don’t respect you they are not treating you as an equal as they should be.

    You deserve better.

    A healthy relationship can include a difference of experience, knowledge, even power, but not respect. Respect is the bedrock of a good relationship and if you don’t have that you may need to look elsewhere. If you were not modelled self respect or taught it you would benefit from learning about it.

    That all said, she sounds like she may just be compensating in some way, putting you down to elevate herself, but seriously you don’t have to take that. She could potentially change and stop this behaviour but she may persist and you may have no option but to get into a new friend ggroup and leave this one.
