What game is that? Looks like Blizzard game, maybe Diablo? 4? Never seen D4 before.

My only issue with Proton are crash and rendering issues related to ray tracing on certain games (probably Nvidia's fault). Also, Halo master chief collection crash after a few minutes gameplay, but that's might have something to do with the game being made by Microsoft. Other than that, it's perfect. Even DLSS is working fine too.

Diablo 4 runs well 60-40fps in the open world 60fps in dungeons on a mix of low/med settings. I play it at 50fps cap for smoother pacing and it's a great experience.

Nice! How easy was it getting D4 running?

I have been looking in the steam store hoping it would show up since a lot of other Blizzard games are. Steam makes running games on Linux very easy, what did you do to run it, add battlenet as non steam game?

Man thats great. Im not a devoted player but from time to time I just buy a game to have some fun. Last ones were Hellblade and Witcher 3. Also In thinkng of starting a new build from scratch so I might just jump into Linux and leave Windows behind for good. What is the ideal Linux flavour for gaming? Ubuntu? Mint? Whats it like with gpu drivers and what not?

If it weren't for how good the offering is on Gamepass I would just play on Linux.

Cool. I recommend Nobara, its a gaming/content creation oriented distro that works well out of the box.
