    I’ve been researching wine and proton for Linux. Fuck windows! The only reason I still use it is for gaming but if wine works as advertised I’ll be switching to Linux.

      As someone who made the leap, I haven’t booted Windows in months. Proton, Steam, and Lutris cover basically everything I play.

        We’re you already familiar with Linux or follow a guide? Lot of products I’m not familiar with there.

          Proton is the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Steam. Lutris is an app that lets you run non-Steam games in a similar manner.

          I didn’t really follow a guide. I mostly started by dual booting Linux and seeing what worked.

      Add Lutris to that list. If anything doesn’t work in WINE, try installing via Lutris. My AxeFX’s GUI now works flawlessly thanks to an older version of WINE running in Lutris.
