Its mostly there if your ready to dump your League addiction. Proton Db has guides for the games that don’t just work first try and most of the fixes are select a different launch option from a drop down in Steam.

Except games with shitty anti-cheat like Battlefield. Those are just unplayable.

  I discovered that Helldivers 1 ran fine on Linux despite having an anti-cheat, because when the anti-cheat failed to launch the game just says “fuck it” and runs anyway. Though other games like PUBG refuse to run when their anti-cheat fails.

Though on that note, I started playing a lot of DOTA 2 on linux without issue.

  It is native on Linux, just like most of Valve’s catalog, so it should run as well as running a Windows game on Windows.

    Some games run worse natively on Linux, because they fall back to some badly optimized OpenGL renderer.

    Ironically, from what I understand (haven’t done direct comparisons myself), a lot of games written for windows run just as well or better on linux.
    
    DOTA 2 is just noteworthy to me because it’s an exception to the “other than competitive games” exception. And while I can’t say for sure that no one is hacking on there, I have yet to see any blatant cases of it (though admittedly it might be difficult to tell in a game where it’s normal for some players to snowball significantly over others).

    Yes, Wine/Proton translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls, and Vulkan is so efficient that native Windows games sometimes run better on Linux than they do on Windows.

  I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
