I didn't say there are never any issues I said it's fine. The idea that "success stories" are only amd is silly. 90/100 times unless you're using bleeding edge hardware or pathologically fussy you just hit play and stuff works. 9 out of the remaining 10 times you tweak a proton version or wine setting, the other time it's a driver bug.

    Sometimes you don't know what you're missing though.

    As an example, I figured out (on a 4900HS CPU/2060 GPU) that Stellaris and modded Rimworld game ticks are on the order of 40% slower running linux native, and still slower (but less dramatically so) in Proton. There was zero public information on this until I tested it myself.

    As another example, modded Minecraft is dramatically faster on linux.

    They run fine, yeah, but one's game settings are kinda capped by CPU performance in all these titles. I don't have to know the difference, but would like to, hence I'm wondering about CP2077 from the opposite side: am I missing out on a boost from linux?
