    If i can get guild wars 2 to run on Linux I won’t need windows anymore

    Edit : sorry for the confusion. I have linux running. The next step is to work on gw2. It’s the only thing remaining.

      May I ask for further clarification on when you tried when running the game?

      I haven’t tried Guild Wars 2 on Linux however it seems like it works according to ProtonDB.

        Sorry I should have been more clear. I have mint linux installed. The speakers and the headset works. When I get a chance I need to work on gw2. It’s the last step. Sorry for the confusion.

          I think all you have to do is add it to Steam as a non-Steam game and then run it with Proton.

            Or add it to Lutris, then it’s also click-and-play without needing an account with another proprietary service that needs to run in the background.

            You can also use one of the many Launchers if you don’t want to add it to Steam as a non-steam game. Alternatively, you can also launch it directly with proton/wine yourself, though this is the most annoying option.

      There’s numerous howtos out there, and it works like a charm.

        Just add it to Steam/Lutris and go, it’s not worth an entire blog post or video about.
