Great thread!

Played a bit of reforger tonight with the guys. Worked very well, with the exception that the experimental branch produces some flickering grass artifacts. I checked against the non-experimental branch, which doesn’t have that problem.

Experimental branch of Proton or Reforger?
Reforger.
Edit: I should add that the experimental branch of proton works much better then the others, the other’s produced some frametime spikes that I didn’t notice in experimental.

Just managed to “port” my Stalker 2 savegames over to my Lutris install.
Wine creates a file tree similar to a Windows system installation inside the game install, so you just have to copy the save game files to the right folder , i.e. in my case
~/Games/gog/stalker-2-heart-of-chernobyl/drive_c/users/sgrill/AppData/Local/

Also I hit my first real roadbump, tried to get Garmin Express running in Wine. Had to tinker a bit with what dotnet version to install via winetricks but finally got it running. It does however not find my Garmin watch. There seems to be an open issue concerning this problem but it has gone stale. Perhaps this is one for the virtual machine then.

Does that mean you have DCS running on Wine?
Edit: I just found a github repo dedicated to running DCS with Wine/Proton, gonna start with that.

No I fly DCS in VR, just like MSFS so that is all on Windows only still.
I did stumble upon that repo before but never got around to it yet. IIRC @TeTeT runs the dedicated server in a (Linux) Docker container.
Let me know how that works out for you!
What base distro are you on btw?

Gah, I feel like I am falling behind as I haven’t bought my new Hardware yet.
Gotta get onto that Linux gaming hype train!
(I enjoy your posts a lot. They give me hope.)

I’m still such a noob with Wine, it‘s just that Lutris & Steam make this dead easy.

It’s the future - your average gamer isn’t going to mess around with the fine controls (except maybe some advanced users following some instructions in the Steam Community to make something run better), they just want it to work.
And Linux is going to make it work better!
