Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
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 ...

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.
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.
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.
thanks im gonna try sexing with it
If you tried on wayland, did you test it on x11? For me that solved all my issues
Nvidia GPU?
