Hey!
Windows 11 gamer here, I basically only use my new PC desktop for gaming. Using Nvidia. Right now playing mostly GW2 and CK2.
I just started fiddling around with Linux a few weeks ago. I tried Linux Mint but had problems with CK2 recognizing my Nvidia card despite installing the driver. So I moved over to Ubuntu. CK2 is now working perfectly, but GW2 is stuttering whenever I move my mouse, making it not playable. I’m running it as a non Steam game on Steam.
Which distro would you recommend for me? I’m thinking about Bazzite (but maybe it’s mostly for handheld games?) or Pop_OS? Fedora? Or can I maybe fix GW2 on Ubuntu somehow?
All the different distros is making this a bit overwhelming 😅
I don't think that's distro related. I've played GW2 on Mint with an Nvidia card and it worked just like on Windows. I installed the Steam version though and linked my account.
What Proton version are you using in Steam to play it, did you try some different ones? Without knowing what your issue really is, there are some tinker steps mentioned on ProtonDB, maybe have a look. It's really hard to recommend anything without more info.
