ComeHereOrIHookYou , in Are there any windows non-game programs that work with proton?

On top off my head is the old non UWP version of Photoscape which I use from time to time to do basic edits.

Then Finale notepad for music transcribing stuff

I use to use MSOffice 2007 but recently I have switched to OnlyOffice

Although most of them, or atleast what I know off, are made for older version of windows

Photoscape

Is there are modern web alternative for that? lemmy.world/post/8834365

Deconceptualist , in Are there any windows non-game programs that work with proton?

I’m far from an expert but I believe Proton is specifically intended to provide compatability with Windows gaming tech like DirectX.

For regular non-game software you don’t need that tech, you can just run it through Wine itself (Proton is built on Wine). Bottles is actually what I see recommended these days (it simplifies management of Wine prefixes) and supposedly many apps can run in a few clicks.

Steam works completely fine with my 4070, but the big picture mode runs at around 5fps.

gutter564 , in Competitive gaming on linux?

I get basically the same performance on OW2 with Lurtis and Garuda versus Windows. It’s pretty much competitive now.

what’s garuda?

Oh yeah I’m sold. Hopefully it is as good as it looks.

nothings stops You from trying. Linux gaming is fantastic nowadays.

@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

you’re 100% right, i just got a new ssd today to dualboot for starters :)

lal309 ,

This is the answer. Dual boot for awhile and experiment a bit. Sometimes games work out of the box, other times it needs a bit of tinkering which most of the time someone else has already identified what you need to do to fix your issue.

Things like Lutris, Steam, Wine and ProtonDB are in all invaluable to gaming on Linux.

@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

noted. going to install nobara later today and tinker around and see how it goes

scutiger ,

Keep your games on an NTFS disk or partition, and both OSes can access it.

CarlosCheddar , in Competitive gaming on linux?

Both OW2 and Apex work on Linux. I don’t play competitively but I don’t think there should be any issues. Folks on ProtonDB and Lutris can confirm comparability as well.

unrightful OP ,
@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

awesome thank you!!

Fubar91 , in Competitive gaming on linux?

Usually the games can run as solid as on windows. Only issue tends to be anti-cheat software not playing nice. Apex seems to function well via Proton. Checkout ProtonDB for a list of what’s working.

unrightful OP ,
@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

thanks for the suggestion i’ll be checking that out!

Overwatch 2 works very well in lutris.

unrightful OP ,
@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

also saw the news that OW is coming to steam soon! hopefully makes things easier

ZeroHora ,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.world avatar

Well… sometimes I run across some bugs with OW2 playing in Linux, for example:

  • Battle.net freezing before login
  • Everytime that I died the game stop detecting keyboard inputs, but after alt + tab the game detect again.
  • Random performance drops

Is nothing big but I not playing competitive anymore, I imagine if I was playing competitive I’ll be pretty pissed off if a bug like that occurred during a match(the battle.net case only if I had to restart the game/PC during a match)

cybersandwich , (edited ) in Competitive gaming on linux?

Apex had been rock solid for me until about a month or so ago. Something’s happened and I get corrupt file issues and it’s unplayable now. I’m on PopOS.

It sucks. :(

edit:

Its back to working! I installed a few more updates and reinstalled, repaired the games folder, and it started working.

HamBrick , in Competitive gaming on linux?

I can give next to no actual helpful advice, but I’ll throw something into the void. I’m pretty sure the anticheat Apex uses isn’t supported on Linux, and I have no clue about O2

simple ,

Apex uses the version of EAC that works on Linux actually, it should work.

jaykstah ,

February 2022 they put out an update that enabled Proton support for EasyAntiCheat. Apex and Overwatch 2 both work.

simple , in Competitive gaming on linux?

Performance should be comparable to Windows, maybe slightly worse. Usually online games with anticheat don’t work on Linux, but OW and Apex do work.

Nobara is pretty good, I’ve heard nothing but good things.

unrightful OP ,
@unrightful@lemmy.world avatar

i’ve seen and heard nothing but good things about it as well. just so many distros to choose from

Monologue ,
@Monologue@lemmy.zip avatar

choice can be overwhelming for sure, but you can change a lot of the defaults so don’t stress over it too much :)

Native Linux support and Steam Deck Verified. Maybe it can replace Brotato as my main time waster on the Deck.

absentthereaper , in Overwatch 2 heads to Steam making it even easier on Steam Deck / Linux
@absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Has Kotick fucked off from Actiblizz yet? If not, dgaf; Overwatch can keep rotting.

inverimus , in Steam Gamescope with Nvidia GPU?

I know at some point it didn’t work at all with nvidia, but I’ve never had performance issues with it once it was working.
