    Thanks for the suggestions! If I’d go with a Forza horizon, which one should I pick? Do you know if there’s any Linux support for the game you mentioned?

      I mean 5 is the only one available right now lol. 6 isn’t out yet, and every older title has been delisted from sale due to expired licenses.

      The Forza Horizon Games all work great on Linux, but in case of doubt you can of course always check ProtonDB

        Wait so does this mean that if I buy the 5 it will be eventually delisted because of 6 and lose everything?

          No. Delisted from sale just means people can’t buy new copies anymore. It happens to virtually every game that features licensed music and/or brands, once those licensing deals expire the game can no longer be sold. However, if you purchased the game before that happens, it’s still in your library and you can still download and play it as normal. Usually delisting is also followed by shutting off the respective game servers soon after, but as far as I know online services for FH4 and FH3 are still up. Because I purchased those games when they were available I can still play them, and even when the servers go offline they have offline functionality that remains playable.

      I know both Forza Horizon 5 and Dirt Rally 2 work on SteamOS as I have played them on my steam deck

      It’s hard to say which Horizon I would recommend. Horizon 4 is better than Horizon 5 imo (I much prefer the setting of 4 vs 5) but with Horizon 6 coming out in May it could be worth waiting for it.

      Honestly check both 4 and 5 out and see which one looks more appealing as they play very similarly. 5 has more active players but if you just plan to play against AI then this is a non issue. Or go for whatever one is on sale if you just want to dip your toes in.

      I will warn that Horizon games aren’t very well structured and can honestly be overwhelming with all the content added over the years (think joining an MMO with years of content releases).
