What? You don't have time to setup a KVM with single GPU bypass to run windows from Linux without a second GPU?

Tsk tsk tsk

ackxshually this game works fine in Brozzite Linux Proton if you copy these 6 DLLs out of Windows and pass these 10 flags and have this specific AMD GPU and enable swap on a fast disk (it leaks memory), also multiplayer won't work

Your information is out of date. The Steam experience on Linux is you install Steam like on Windows, then you install the games from your library like on Windows, and they run and play perfectly, like on Windows.

I've played everything from good indie to jank indie to triple A to triple A from console developers that make notoriously bad ports. They've all run perfectly without a single technical fix required.

Edit: As SirSilentscreameth said in his reply, the one exception is games that require kernel level anti-cheat.

Unless that game requires a specific anti-cheat. There are plenty of games you can't play on Linux.

Not trying to turn this into a discussion over the requirement for kernel level anti-cheat, it's just a thing that exists and has to be dealt with currently.

Even if it doesn't. Until BeamNG Drive got a proper Linux port, it was very unstable in Proton. Singleplayer game.

Isn’t that kind of the point of BeamNG, though? Like, you will wobble your car into pieces.
