GOG Galaxy for Linux would be a nice start,..

Its possible that DX9-VK will give better performance then DX9-OGL, in saying that it would have been more useful if it was DX11, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Their SLI function is also BROKEN at 4k, forcing only 30hz option no matter what (at 4k, although it still looks 30hz at lower res). I only wanted to try SLI for select titles that have inbuilt support for it, but not at 30hz.

I guess I should pester NVIDIA about this on their forums sometime....

Xenonauts is a pretty fun retro xcom game (but at higher resolution). There is a sequal in the works.

Its a good game but has some annoying back tracking with the levels at times. I REALLY wish they made a multiplayer DLC were your the team on Nostromo trying to survive, change history [movie], would be awesome sauce x 10!!!

I always felt system shock was a more interesting story and had more potential then the Bioshock series of games which was retro steampunk with things that make no logical scientific sense...

I really wish Bethesda would give the keys to their games for porting to Linux. Many of them already run well under Wine but its just too clunky to run mods and related programs via Wine so a actual port would be nice for those games!

SkyrimSE and FO4 being the latest, but might require some actual work to port. I think Bethesda is openly ANTI Linux in a BIG way unfortunately... real sad...

You need to have very good working drivers, Linux has been plagued with major issues with drivers for a long time, and not just GPU drivers.

Until their flawless, we won't see a major shift. I know thats asking allot, but Windows has pretty damn good working drivers for both cards for all the games I have played with only occasional bugs with certain games now and again. Linux on the other hand is a literal landmine!

PS. I'm pro Linux, but I can't just drink the coolaid fantasy and ignore the major issues as to WHY Linux struggles as a gaming/desktop platform! %1-2 on Steam stats is just sad, we need %10

Probably need at least another year or two of driver evolution for Linux to stop becoming a major issue for these ports. I know allot of people will argue otherwise but I have tested BOTH sides of the fence now and yeah, too many issues still coupled with MAJOR performance regressions/problems. Even the NVIDIA proprietary drivers have some annoying issues still!

Too many BIG TICKET items are windows only, for example GTA5, FO4, Witcher3, DA3, all the COD/BF games, the list just keeps going on with these sort of platform selling games. Probably take a miracle for those sort of games to see Linux any time soon!
