Try a little Proton. There's also Lutris. There hasn't been a game I own that I haven't been able to play on Linux.

Proton is amazing as long as you don't get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

Thankfully I don't play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can't run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.

visual studio is native on linux

Hmm, I can't seem to find it. Maybe you were thinking about Visual Studio Code? I know for sure that runs natively on linux.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, not that great of a naming convetion with that one. At least my servers still run linux, so I have somewhere to fall back to when windows gets on my nerves :-D
