Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME away from home for disgruntled /r/linux_gaming denizens of the redditarian demesne.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Is world latency high, home latency high, or both? Also if you leave a ping running in the terminal (like to 1.1.1.) Is there a matching latency increase with when you see the performance drop?
I'm also playing WOW Forever on Linux but I'm doing so via Lutris and fiber. So it's definitely possible. Just need to figure out the bottleneck you're hitting.
Maybe do a traceroute to the wow server and check what gives latency. It could just be bad service from Starlink which after all is a satellite link.
Last time I go a very wild issue with proton, I sent all the proton logs to an AI, it honestly found the issue I had (my ISP router had failed to setup IPv6). All my game starting in steam would take a minimum of 30sec to stary. It was proton trying to download ressources over IPv6 and long timeouts.
Also if you are on Linux you need to say what distribution ypi are using. Alpine or cachyos is a very different environment.
