Yeah, blizzard games have pretty much always worked for me on Linux, they were among the first games to “just work” on Linux without a lot of hassle for me.


Turbo Golf Racing

It’s pretty much “Rocket League meets golf”, with two different types of modes:

  • Racing: Everyone has a ball that they’re pushing in real time as quickly as they can to the goal
  • Golf: Everyone has a ball that they’re trying to get into the goal with as few turns (its a turn based mode) as they can

Doesn’t have any microtransactions in it (aside from a couple of supporter packs that grant you a few cosmetic items), has an in-game “store” but they’re cosmetics that you unlock with currency that you get from playing and doing challenges (they can’t be purchased with “real” money).

I enjoy the fact that I can pick it up, play a few matches, and then put it down, which is one of the reasons I like to play Rocket League every now and then.

Do note that for the most part the game is multiplayer-only, like Rocket League. It has a time trial mode that can be played offline, but that’s about as far as it goes for offline/singleplayer content.

Runs fantastic on the Steam Deck (it is Deck verified) and I can easily reach 90FPS on my OLED Deck. It also of course runs perfectly on desktop as well via Proton.


For what its worth, while its not viewable on the Flathub website anymore, it can still (at the time of my writing) still be downloaded/installed through the flatpak command.


Doesn’t seem to run correctly for me on my PC or Deck - after reaching the main menu it hangs and then I receive a generic “The application has hung and will now close” error with Proton Experimental. GE Proton results in an unauthorized modification error at launch.

But, I’m glad to see progress is being made regardless! Just not sure why it doesn’t work for me lol.


Seems like a bad faith argument, seat belts are so that your skull (hopefully) doesn’t detach and fly through the window if you get into an accident - a life and death safety measure. It’s way more dramatic to make a fuss about that. However, in both cases you can choose to just not drive (or play the game) which people are choosing to do.

Then again, none of your comments here seem like they’re in good faith, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
