I hope soon WIne/Proton team will soon find a way to manage kernel anti-cheat games, like deporting this anticheat system in userland.

I feel like WC3 Reforged has been broken for over a year at this point. I remember last year trying to play it again since I really like Castle Fight custom map, and I too couldn't get past the lion doors. And prior to that I remember the game randomly freezing. Really sucks because for a few years there, WC3 Reforged just worked.

I finally found a workaround:
1) install proton-ge 9.23 for Steam
2) add your existing Battle.Net install to Steam library as "non steam game"
3) set Battle.Net to use proton-ge 9.23

This version seems to resolve Battle.Net install and games update, but:
- can not access Warcraft III reforged, I stay at the lion doors which never open

You will find a fresh Lutris script installer to easily install it at this page:
https://lutris.net/games/star-fox-64 [External Link]
You will need to provide a Starfox64 USA rom in z64 format during install.

Do someone have info about Wine/Proton progress with support for anticheat games that we cannot play on Linux?
This is a barrier for gamers who want to switch to Linux and leave Windows.

How is KDE plasma behavior today? Is it enough stable for a daily use and gaming ? How is it resources consuming ? I prefer light DE and keep resources for gaming.

I love this DE, I use it since several years now cause it uses lightweight resources (= more resources for gaming) and is highly customizable.

Debian and Debian-like distributions are not, to my experience, the best Linux distribution for gaming, their packages are not enough often updated and lack libraries dependencies. Arch and Aur are the way to follow for Linux gamers, SteamOS is ARCH based.
For the DE I suggest a light one to keep your resources for gaming, like XFCE.

What is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.

To my point of view Debian, Ubuntu and all Debian-like distributions could not be adviced for gaming.
For gaming on Linux in good conditions, you need recent libraries and apps.
That's one of the reasons I quit Ubuntu for Manjaro/Arch, with Flatpak and rolling release, you always have recent libraries and apps installed.
On another computer I installed OpenSuse Tumbelweed and I'm very satisfy too for gaming.
