With proton, this is less and less the case.
I just made the jump again and I donāt think Iāll be going back to Windows. Iām getting improved performance in many of my favourite titles.
Very happy to be free of windows finally.
If rainbow 6 ever gets Linux support, I think I can fully uninstall windows. Unfortunately if I need to have windows installed for something, I might as well compartmentalize Linux for productivity, and windows for gaming
Iāve been working on a NixOS setup over the past few days and I just got BG3 to run a couple of hours ago. I had to switch from the Mesa driver to the AMD one, I canāt login to the launcher (CORS issue lmao), and it sometimes doesnāt launch at all. Itās still a bit of a WIP, but it did seem to run at least as well as it did on Windows when it worked. Iām hoping that having an ephemeral, config-based setup will save me a lot of this trouble in the future.
Iāve recently installed Linux. Have a hdd full with steam games (for windows) Is there any way to get that to work without needing to format the drive and install the games again? Looked a bit at it but every article seems to suggest formating the drive to get it to work with proton.
Itās technically possible but not recommended as the NTFS format has some quirks under Linux. Give yourself the best chance at everything working and do full reinstalls after a format.
