I’ve been debating making the switch for a long time, but after spending like a week researching Proton, Lutris etc. on Linux, I decided to try it out and nuked my entire Windows 11 drive. :)
So far, every game I threw at it works perfectly fine, including Elden Ring & Cyberpunk.
I had to spend a little time troubleshooting some small issues but it’s part of the fun!
Specs are in the neofetch, my compositor / WM is Wayfire (Wayland) :)
lutris. even has a little button to add it to steam.
This is basically the recommended way to install Eve these days.
At one point when they were testing what is now the current launcher it worked flawlessly on Linux because it was based on Qt and they were compiling a Linux binary for it. It fired the game up in Wine and all was great.
They dropped that support fairly quick though sadly once it became the actual new launcher.
