not that easy if you play games unfortunately
Actually it is 100% that simple, proton has fixed gaming on Linux.
It doesn't work for a few rare games that install a rootkit on your Windows PC, but that's already silly and irresponsible of you to allow a game to do anyway, in my opinion.
Nearly all the games i play run worse on linux than windows. Counterstrike, the finals, vrising. Im sure at least one of them dont have rootkit installed. Even got glorious egg proton profiles and still no luck.
Counterstrike 2 is native to Linux, doesn't use proton so should have 0 preforman impact
Ill have to test counter strike 2 later today and see if its still runs poorly cause it could have been due to it being recently released when i tested CS2 out.
Though just last night i was testing out the Finals and i noticed that the grqphics were significantly different from windows. In windows i had their polished texture and effects but in linux it was permanently foggy and the wall textures were super bad with shitty shadows.
I tried replicating those textures and settings on windows but i wasnt able to. Im beginning to think the game is not using my graphics card.
So in short; do you have any experience in this kind of issue with the graphics?
