Are there any games on Steam that actually work on Linux?
Above.
I bought the full version of TemTem on there this morning, tried to download it, it's not compatible with my Linux box, however, I successfully managed to get a full refund of the 40 quid I paid on Paypal for it.
So I don't make the same mistake again, other than the demo of Cassette Beasts Fusion, and eventually the full version of that possibly, are there any good full games that actually work on the Linux version of Steam?
I am aware of Google and use it frequently.

I don't know if this is of any help?

I found this by going to the steam website, and typing "Linux compatible" in the search bar. The random titles I pulled up all had linux developers listed, so theoretically should work.

Thanks big man, I'll have a look.
This is getting annoying, I searched for "Linux compatible", found a game and bought it for £18, it's not compatible.
So I've had to request a refund!

I don't mean to be rude, but are you buying the correct version? I noticed that some of the games I pulled up had different developers for the Linux version.

That probably is an issue.
I'll have another look, I'm not really sure what to look for though.

I seem to recall you mentioning Ubuntu in a previous post.
You could try contacting "Full Circle" Magazine, which is a free PDF format magazine dedicated to Ubuntu Linux.

I do have Ubuntu at my Parents, at the Flat it's Linux Penguin, a bit different.
I did manage to download and get Blender to work though to create 2D and 3D models, and I've ordered a beginners book on Amazon to learn the software.

For Linux, https://www.protondb.com/ is a great site to reference for compatibility. As TemTem is listed as working there, you might want to make sure you go to steam settings and under "Steam Play" make sure "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" is enabled. You might also want to switch to Proton Experimental that is listed right under that option.

If I get back to the Flat this weekend (nasty weather in UK at the moment) I'll have a look.
