[Guide] Everything you need to know about gaming on Linux

[Guide] Everything you need to know about gaming on Linux - programming.dev

Hi everyone, I just finished writing a guide on everything you need to know in order to game on Linux. It covers Proton (Steam play), using Heroic Launcher (with Wine-GE), and all sorts of tidbits and tips I wish people had told me earlier. I hope this can be useful to someone out there!

I see that you dedicated a paragraph to NTFS. There are quite a lot of people saying there are problems with gaming on Linux using an NTFS drive but I’ve rarely (never?!) seen anyone actually having problems with it. I myself have been dual footing for years and some games are on an NTFS drive shared between Linux and windows for convenience and I never had any issues besides the fact I had to disable fast reboot in Windows.

When I still had a ntfs drive some games would play fine off of it but some would barely run or fail to launch completely. ESO didn't care about being on an ntfs partition and ran fine. I think it was Doom 2013 that didn't like it for me.
