So anyways, I've been playing Baldurs Gate and Genshin on Linux and it's pretty dope

    The steam deck being on a Linux architecture really pushed this forward. Go Linux! And go ARM!

    Steam deck is arm? How the hell did I miss that?

    That didn't sound right to me since i knew it was AMD. but long story short, no it's x86 64 bit. It's an APU. The CPU portion is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_2

    Valheim works like a charm too

    Valheim doesn't work anywhere like a charm, Windows included. They like certain nVidia cards but other than that it's one of the worst optimized games I had disfortune to use.

    It works fine if you're the chosen one.

    I can play it fine in my machine, both windows and Linux, but most of my friends can't get it to work anywhere close to fine.

    It's also terrible on steam deck.

    genshin works on Linux now? I thought it's anticheat wasn't compatible with proton

    They actually made the anti cheat compatible. You just run the exe through wine-ge (I use lutris for that) and it just works. Nothing is modified. Lutris installer also has an installer script that just runs a clean unmodified exe from mihoyo's site.

    I've been running it since 3.8 just fine, everything just works in it. Apparently it's been supported since 3.5.

    Avoid AnAnimeGame Launcher, that is the launcher where they modify your files, which is completely unnecessary now that it's compatible.

    I wonder if the anticheat actually works that way or it just makes the game think it works.

    Probably works that way, because it used to be a kernel level anti cheat which Wine can't fake. If an anti cheat runs in user space (which they should, kernel level is a massive security issue), then it should run with Wine just fine.
