Many games still a pain in the arse to boot, even on Bottles.
Now days I have an easier time with games working out of the box on Linux than I do with Windows.
I stopped having crashes, launch issues and performance issues once I switched to linux.
Halo CE on PC is painful to run at lans
Seems like the older games are a pain to install in general. Especially when it comes to mods. Both Proton and Bottles aren't as easygoing as they're being advertised, as they'll often make you come across dependency hell, or the infamous ".dlHell". Maybe Lutris is better tho.
Pidgen.dll enters the chat.
Lutris has some easy installers to make it easier. I just have portable versions of my games for LAN parties that don't jive with wine, proton or lutris without dancing around dx9, or .dll issues
As somebody who mostly plays WoW Classic & Diablo, plus ARPG like PoE and Grim Dawn - would I likely run into issues?
I've always wanted to try switching, though I would like to wait for HDR. I know that I could partition the OS, but tbh I just want to keep it simple with one OS
