Video Gaming on Linux

[mcmentalonthemic]

As I type this I am downloading Farcry 6 on my Linux gaming PC
This is not a game you can just automatically use proton by Steam with as it uses Ubisoft's proprietary game launcher. If I can successfully use wine to emulate the application's windows calls to Linux calls, and run FarCry 6 with no issue, then there is legitimately nothing Windows has over Linux anymore.

It's already proven Linux can run games optimized for Windows better than WIndows can, but if it can run any game such as this one without using Steam launcher or without needing technical stuff there's no cope Windowstards can use anymore.

I used to do this back in 2016 or so.

Now I just don’t game.

Linux gaming? Much less recourses back then, how'd it go

Almost everything would work on WINE with some effort. But in some cases would use huge amount more CPU/GPU than they should due to poor emulation.

Yeah expected, I don't see it as true emulation if it uses more than 10% more than usual
