Some games have better performance running under wine on Linux than natively on Windows.
On the flip side, I couldnβt get Linux native Jackbox to run because the devs failed to update it to support something (Wayland maybe, IDK was troubleshooting mid Xmas party).
Ended up installing the Windows version in Proton.
That's a story old as Linux. Native shit stops working. Thankfully wine/Proton is there to keep it functional
Hm. I wonder if still will become a problem in the future if we get more Linux native games. We shit on Windows for not playing old games when wine can, but if a game stops functioning moving from x11 to Wayland (or some other dependency) will there be people there to care enough to fix it? Although I would assume it would be an easier fix for Linux than Windows for when it does.
Oh yeah that happens. Some devs are just too lazy to understand their build toolchain.
I always wonder whether that's because it's doing less... like some graphics feature that isn't supported might just no-op in Wine.
It's because Windows is bloated. A lot of games rely on the CPU to deliver frames. If the CPU is congested so are the frames.
Yeah, when you're not trying to support random crap compiled for winxp you can leave out a lot of cruft
