Quoting: harfieldShadowground and Shadowground Survivor does not work on Arch / Chakra. I do not remember why, but I tried to make it work three or four months agi without success.
You need install only missing library. After that games should work fine. Tested on Manjaro (arch based), openmandriva (notebook) and ubuntu 16.10.

Why Linux games often perform worse than on Windows

Most porters team, use wrappers. Poor wrapp technlogy gives us FPS loos. So wee need better optimization. We need remember not only VP make wrappers, but also Feral and Aspyr. One use indirex wrap. So it like eON from VP. So most Linux games is wrapped. One is better, other is worse. But we need remember, if we calling eON game non native, or semi-native we should also calling this same non-native Feral and Aspyr ports. But If we calling Feral - native ports, we should calling VP - also native.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLDesura is still nice. We have many old and native Linux games like Northland, Earth and few more, and we can get them only on Desura. I know, Earth is now available on Steam but only via WINE. So If Desura back to life - im still buying on it.
As far as I know, Earth 2140 is not on Linux at all on Steam.
Ahh my mistake but Earth 2140 is on TopWare todo Linux WINE port.
