I feel betrayed. The picture doesn't show any dogs, much less sleeping ones.

Sweet! Zeepkist is a great laugh, and I loved Zaccaria Pinball back when I had a Switch - good to see those two get a mention here!

What was the issue with sleeping dogs?I literally just completed a full playthrough of Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition on Proton Experimental. Full campaign, lots of achievements, DLC content. It basically runs like a native game.

I have just installed Forza Horizon 5 on Ubuntu 24.04 and when I start the game this msg comes up:
Z:/home/jano/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ForzaHorizon5
Installation path is too long. Please move your Forza Horizon 5 installation to a shorter path.
I have no idea how to do that since I'm a newbi to Linux. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Installation path is too long. Please move your Forza Horizon 5 installation to a shorter path.You could try setting up another library folder on a different drive and moving the install to that new folder. This is all done within the Steam client software.
However, this sounds like a bug. You would probably be better to report this to Valve/Steam.

Don't feel betrayed! Its a great game. A better version of Yakuza imo but set in Hong Kong. Wish it caught on

"Forza Horizon 5 needs to be installed at a Steam library location that is 59 characters or shorter."
