The native Linux version (the default) was not playable. Running in Proton works, but has some issues

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Graphics:Other

Terrible flashing in the main menu

Instability:Frequently

The game sometimes crashed, and the frequnecy increased further into the game. It was quite bad in xen, and I had to reload an earlier save to get past the final boss fight without crashing.

I could not get past the intro on the Linux native version - the game kept crashing at the first location change. Running via Proton worked, but it has major graphical glitches in the menu. Thankfully there are none in game, only in the main and pause menus.

It's playable, I've finished the entire game on Linux, but the stability issues are quite annoying.

Cyberpunk 2077

Runs pretty well on my hardware - around 60 fps at 1440p on medium settings (no upscaling)

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton8-25, Set launch options

MANGOHUD=1 %command% --intro-skip -skipStartScreen --launcher-skip

Save Games:Other

Sometimes the saves reorder in the load list, and i have to go looking for the latest one by play time. Might be related to steam cloud sync. Not sure if it's a linux specific issue

Previously my system sometimes crashed when playing Cybepunk, but this seems to have been fixed with kernel updates.

Toggling mangohud on causes the game to stutter for some reason. Might be because of some wrong mangohud configuration, but it doesn't happen in other games.

DARK SOULS: REMASTERED

Works perfectly, though currently the multiplayer mode is disabled, so I can't speak for the multiplayer experience.

Proton 7.0-1

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

After some initial stuttering the game runs perfectly fine, except for the fact that you have to kill it to quit.

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

In the first areas of the game there's some stuttering while shaders compile. It went away completely after an hour or so.

Significant Bugs:

Can't quit the game via the menu, you have to kill it in the system monitor.

ELDEN RING

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Excellent

Proton Experimental

Factorio

The game is very playable, even with major mods such as Space Exploration, with minor tweaking.

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: Zirbs

Control Layout Customization:Other

Remapped some buttons (mainly for picking up items)

Battery Performance:

5 watts TDP limit

Runs perfectly well even with a low TDP limit. You should use a community controls layout, especially if you want to play modded. The controls may take some time to get used to after playing with a mouse and keyboard, but after that they're fine.

The default UI scale (100%) looks good, but certain elements (specifically dialog windows from mods such as factory planner) don't fit on the screen. This can be fixed by setting the scale to 75%, though it may be a bit too small for some people.
