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.

    I use it via Lutris, and it’s my go-to way to play GW2.

    I did replace my aging Nvidia card (from 2014) with an AMD RX 6000-series unit to get proper DX11 support through Vulkan.
