So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?
I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might’ve been.
Just another vote for Steam on Linux.
I’ve played gw2 exclusively under wine for a decade. Switched to steam to avoid the annoyance of wine configuration.
