what black magic are you using to make them work

AMD 7600x and 6700xt, Debian 12… proton, wine, keyboard and mouse? Been using it no problem with cyberpunk and Starfield for a few months now. Play Diablo 4 and overwatch with my kids. Been gaming on Linux for almost 4 years now. It HAS come a very very long way since the steamdeck was launched though. Proton and lutris are the glue that hold it all together.

idk what kinda glue you are thinking about, but it aint the one im seeing gtx 1660 super here and distro agnostic for me, same problems all around

cyberpunk, a slideshow at best, tried several times and several configs diablo 4 (got it from a friend), never launched, cause battlnet never works

I’m convinced it’s my AMD graphics that are making things so easy for me. I have had no issues at all with their drivers. Ran arch with no issues for a few years, now Debian for a few months. Have never had an nvidia card.

I have been using an all AMD system for years on Linux and haven't had any issues. Some coworkers with Nvidia graphics said it was a nightmare. So it must be the AMD drivers

I have over 200 hours in cyberpunk on Linux. The gog version is a little bit more work to setup the steam version. If you have it on steam, and have steam installed natively (not inside wine) it should work assuming you have the correct GPU drivers installed.

I've always had weird, buggy shit with Nvidias Linux drivers. AMD is pretty great though.

You could try an open source game like xonotic that supports Linux to test as well.
