Quoting: pilkWaiting for this to land on Fedora, I'm really excited to give NVK a shot. If NVK can do all my gaming, then my NVIDIA card is suddenly plug-and-play on most distros.

Fedora 40 (pre-release); Mesa-git [External Link]; RTX3060; Proton 9.beta; Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (max settings):



Totally playable for some games. Some games have periodical 1FPS stutter though.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThis looks like a better Q4Wine.

This is not alternative to q4wine. With q4wine you can use your system Wine, with Bottles you cannot and this by design.

But you can. Search in the list of wine for sys-wine.

Better read docs and check which runners supported https://docs.usebottles.com/components/runners#types-of-runners [External Link].
Q4Wine is wrapper around your system/host wine, basically GUI for it with some tools and helpers which help you configure your system/host wine provided by your distribution or any other 3d-party wine build.

Bottles is designed around their own, custom pre-built versions of Wine with own ecosystem, tools and such and intended to work only with them.

- Native Ferral port [External Link]
- Proton/DXVK [External Link]

Graphics settings [External Link].

The Native Ferral port is not 100% the same as Windows. Some graphical parts are missing.

That was what i always concerned about. Would be interesting to know which exactly. Can you provide more details on this?

Quoting: TeodosioI think this is good news, Feral ports were usually not very good: lower performance, delayed patches, additional bugs, etc.. The very idea of "porting" smells of a sub-par product.
I like to see *native* releases; it they cannot provide that, ensuring good compatibility with Proton may be better than a port.

The last Feral ports (i.e. Vulkan) run better than the proton/dxvk version. See for example total war here [External Link] or Shadow of the tomb raider [External Link].

+1 this. I've tested in 2021 Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Ferral port was even faster then Windows DX12 version about ~8% which is huge difference IMO. At least on Radeon VII graphics card.
