Tried to. It doesn't like my pc. Not buying new rig for it. Win 10 LTSC it is. ^^

( Honestly tho if you have modern hardware in any meaning of the word, try it. )

    If you've got a potato, try Linux Mint or one of the extra light distros, like PuppyLinux

    Not exactly potato, but my performance on Linux sucks ass and I believe it's mostly due to drivers. I am mainly gaming as of now, so not running games I can run on Windows is no go.

    GTX 750 + i-4460. So yeah, low end but servicable...on windows. Tried Linux Mint, Nobara and CachyOS. My benchmark was Fallout 76 and Hogwarts Legacy. On windows both work. On Linux, no matter the distro, Hogwarts dies pre "press start" and F76 blinks, lags and freezes. In both cases after I already set settings as low as I could, lot lower than Windows.

    Oh and yeah I tried various fixes and tricks, used both steam proton and GE, tried to adjust commands. Nothing worked. And all I am asking for is to match windows performance.

    you have to remember that proton is translating Windows software to Linux while you play so the fact that it works at all is pretty great, but of course it's not a great experience you've had!

    Have you tried experimental proton versions in the compatibility settings? Also do you have the proprietary nvidia drivers?

    Frankly Linux, especially gaming, is not ready without plenty of command-line foo

    Tried commands, tried proton experimental, tried gametime or whatever it's called, tried switching dx's and all that. And yeah, used proprietary, except on cachyOS which I believe supports my hardware out of the box.

    And honestly, I didn't need co.mand line for anything when I tried and. Spent a week on it, made it mirror more or less my wi dows config software wise.

    Only thing that, except gaming, pissed me off is Linux not being able to read my portable HDD. "Yadda yadda, suprblocm damaged, yadda yadda".

    Windows, seemingly, didn't get the memo as it opens it without a problem.

    WINE is not an emulator!

    It's a native implementation of the win sys call libs, so it doesn't need to translate anything, but I see you meant like someone translated it, but you made it sound like it should somehow cost performance, as if it is being emulated or something.
