Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.
I still can’t get anything to run consistently in Linux after 10 years, and many, many distros. Timber born and Raft currently never open, no matter what. I a huge Linux user but the gamin experience has always been so finicky for me and no matter how much I try it’s still unattainable. And even when they run its with a lot of configution and tinkering unless it has native support. I have no issue with that but I’m so frustrated my experience with this seems so diffent than what everyone else is having. I want to delete my windows partition and it still feels so far away.
I’d be happy to help if you’d like I can play 90% or more of my library on Linux. Basically, if its in steam it’s a cake walk. I recommend something like Mint cinammon or pop_os all you need is proton really. I can’t run games with certain anti cheat like tarkov cause the anti cheat devs don’t support Linux
Running mint right now, went back to basics after a stint with majaro. I appreciate the offer but for now the windows distro stays and every few months I will try again. I know so many people have such a seamless experience. That is what makes it way more frustrating.
What have you been doing. Cause for me it’s just install steam enable proton and install pretty much any game on my library. Or install lutris login to my accounts and play epic games / gog games. It literally just works
Let me know when you get Witcher 2 to run on Linux. With some tinkering and magic settings, it can run. But it crashes so often it is bordering unplayable, using several different versions of Proton in Steam and Pop! Os.
I don’t own it but according to protondb it has native support for Linux
That’s fine. But it crashes constantly on Linux, rarely on Windows. Point being that not all games run fine on Linux.
I know this is a very common experience, but for me it fails. The list is too long but belive me I’ve tried it. It’s probably some weird driver issue or some thing I use for x y or z that conflicts. Who knows.
YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.
This. While the experience for Gaming on linux is still not perfect, or as easy as install and play, Heroic is a good start. It still requires configuration and many hidden configs are not always obvious for the user, but I managed to run every game I threw at it flawlessly so far. All AAA games, and games from 2000 (Hitman, C&C games, Jazz Jackrabbit etc…), GoW, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, etc. On a RTx 2070.
Between Steam, Lutris, and Heroic I can run every game I’ve tried on Linux.
Damn, I was thinking about switching but I play alot of Timberborn.
I play quite a bit of timberborn, worked just fine. Had some sound issues but changing to proton experimental fixed them.
I’ve got >500hours in Timberborn on Ubuntu. Runs flawlessly and never had an issue.
this game is actually fun? what would you compare it to?
It’s Rimworld mixed with Sim City in an amusement water park.

It’s also technically a post apocalypse setting.
