NTSYNC driver for improving Windows games on Linux with Wine / Proton should finally land in Linux kernel 6.14

Who would have thought Linux kernel would ever go in this direction, huh!

wait... 860.7 fps? is there even an monitor with that refresh rate to confirm its was runing at that speed? probably is a old game but i doubt the performance would be comparable on windows

Doubt it but it serves as a benchmark :)

Icewind Dale 2 completable in Infinity Engine remake GemRB, plus Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition now playable

This is very impressive. Icewind Dale 2 is the only game from the original Inifinity Engine games that I haven't played yet. I am likely to use GemRB to play it now!

Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton

I usually just do Proton Experimental for everything and it mostly works! Sometimes there are regressions that make me use a very old Proton version for a specific game, like Proton 5.0.

How to check game compatibility for Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
13 Jan 2025 at 11:21 am UTC

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI think itch.io is notable just because they're one of the few stores that provide a native Linux client + an integrated Wine compatibility layer.

THIS! A native client app, just like Steam! And with a dedicated option to run Windows games using Wine - from inside of the app!
