I switched over to Linux Mint a few days ago. While the game doesn't work 'out of the box', it doesn't take too much to get working. And boy does it work - it's loading up quicker than on Windows and seems to be more responsive while on a map too.

I only had one CTD, which was while testing one of the newer mods but I wasn't able to recreate it afterwards. I'll call that a significant win.

As someone who's spent a lot of time on Cities Skyline 2 recently, I'd argue it's gotten a lot better. They have new devs that are actively working on fixing the game and I've had almost no bugs compared to 2 or 3 years ago. Would recommend giving it another chance

    Which is bullshit in and of itself, because it should have never been released in that state, and I shouldn't have to wait years for the game I bought to actually be playable, because someone got greedy/stupid and Cyberpunked it by kicking it out hte door years before it should have had a public eye on it.

    In what areas has it improved the most, in your opinion? I played a lot of CS1 but have not yet touched CS2 because of *guestures broadly at everything*.

    I mean if you're wanting features, go for the first with DLC (2nd one includes some of the 1sts DLC in base game but does leave some stuff out...) But I enjoy the road building more than the first, and the tax system makes the city feel more in your control (in regards to what businesses you want running). I also personally like the interface more and the overall simulation of pops seems improved from the 1st.

    Most of the issues I had at release were weird bugs with certain commercial sectors not making any money, and homeless people crowding the streets, but my last playthrough which went up to Milestone 20, I had no bugs or issues that made me annoyed with the game.

    The latest dev blogs actually make it sound like they're doing something, so the hype of that could be affecting my opinion a bit.
