The (old) forums also have a lot of very helpful linux players.Īs one guy in the comments already said: Wine with dxvk (direct x vulkan) is really a big step forward for the performance and stability of wine, generally. There is an official linux ingame channel. All the so-called 'Linux'ĭistributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.Īre there any linux gamers out there? How is the stability?
