Well Freesync is probably a bit more complicated to implement than FSR 3 considering the scope, Freesync works in-games and in the desktop so I imagine the display server and compositor need to support it. To me FSR 3 seems nothing more than a driver update and a new version of wine / proton.
I think I read the changelog wrong because apparently freesync has been a thing in the kernel since a while back. Probably just some improvement being implemented in 6.5
To be honest I haven’t ever tested because while my display technically supports it, it’s a pretty basic display with not a lot or Hz range so I haven’t bothered to check.
OSRS is native when using Runelite. Unfortunately, Jagex is soon making its launcher the only way to sign in and they refuse to make a version for Linux. Heard it works fine through wine though.
Stop caring about native. It seriously just doesn’t matter anymore.
XIV Launcher is the easiest way to get FF XIV running, plus it can link to your phone to almost automatically handle OTP (no typing it in, your phone just sends the code over your local network), but you could also just install the trial inside Steam, should work fine.
Copypasta time. “Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!”
Gaben is also an FF XIV player, and Proton always gets a hotfix like a day after anything breaks (usually it’s the launcher).
If bans from playing on Linux (or at least the deck) were common there’d be a lot more info about it like there is for other games. Just don’t cheat or use sketchy mods. I’ve only played on Linux (all AMD tbf, both desktop and steam deck, so the drivers are good) and have never had a problem.
I have played at least Albion Online and Wakfu that run natively without any trouble, and work quite great. Lots of other run quite great using Steam compatibility layer or Lutris.
