what’s “ate”?
edit: oh it’s just a type for “are” isn’t it
i would recommend getting an extra ssd, installing a beginner friendly distro (mint or pop for instance) and just boot it up occasionally, see what works, what doesn’t. i got into linux like this, gradually, over years
But yeah I’ve tried this and I just found my self booting less and less into Linux, to me it made more sense to just keep my PC on once I’m done playing, or alt tab out and work on other stuff with the game running in the background.
However this old MMO is getting a unreal update sometime in the next few years so I’ll probably give it a try again and see if it’s able to run once that comes around.
idk which mmo it is but i would assume an older engine runs more reliably on linux than a new one
actually, for me, trying and failing to run star wars republic commando a few years ago on win 10 was what pushed me to really look into gaming on linux, and after installing it via steam, enabling steam play, i just clicked play and it ran great, i was shocked
and you can add any windows executable to steam (although it’s a bit janky), enable compatibility, and most of the times, stuff just runs
heroic launcher also is great, but a bit more complicated
And yeah you would think so but the engine is a mess and it has something to do with the Anticheat. People have found fixes but it’s not “playable” to me at least in any content that’s end game.
You gave me an idea though so I’ll probably try on my laptop at a later date.
check out the protondb page, maybe something helps
(filter for the appropriate gpu and distro but the latter is less important)

Oh I didn’t even see that typo.

It’s Mabinogi (crappy Korean MMO)
