I’ve been debating making the switch for a long time, but after spending like a week researching Proton, Lutris etc. on Linux, I decided to try it out and nuked my entire Windows 11 drive. :)

So far, every game I threw at it works perfectly fine, including Elden Ring & Cyberpunk.

I had to spend a little time troubleshooting some small issues but it’s part of the fun!

Specs are in the neofetch, my compositor / WM is Wayfire (Wayland) :)

    I wish, but all I play right now is Diablo IV and COD:MW2 (2023 version) and neither works on Linux. Maybe in the 2030s.

      Hmm, what issues did you have with D4 on Linux? That’s been my preferred way of playing it since the beta.

      Not sure about MW2 unfortunately though.

        The last time I bothered to try was a few years ago. I didn’t realize it was possible to install Battle.net now. I’ll have to take another look at it on my laptop with Manjaro installed.

          Ah fair enough! If you do end up giving it a try, my preferred method is via Bottles - but I’ve heard other people recommend Lutris as well.

          I have an Nvidia 2080 and for me the game plays just as well in Linux as it does Windows. From what I’m aware, most of the Blizzard games play on Linux - I’ve personally played D3, D4, and OW/OW2 (which is coming to Steam to make it even easier) on Linux without problem.

      Diablo IV definitely works in Linux. I played Sorc all the way to level 75 just fine. You can install Battle.net via Lutris, Bottles, or even directly via Proton Experimental in Steam and then install Diablo IV from there.

          It seems to work great at least in my experience on Manjaro. Lutris is also great at what it does and makes the setup relatively easy.

      Seriously, if you need FPS game and you have not your heart in CoD, you can make the moove.
