This is very interesting is this in your own experience or has someone done a nice analysis of this somewhere. I did a quick Google but could only find threads of people complaining about it.

You are right I should’ve used could rather than would. While proton is very good there are very much performance penalties especially for older games due to the adress space nightmare it becomes. I suggested lutris because someone smart probably figured out what the issue is and has created a wine environment that handles it.

I think cs2 has a native Linux build available so that would explain why you get better fps there. Unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with wow to be of much use there. If you launch those games thru steam do they still use the blizzard launcher for authentication? I know some of my friends have had success with lutris for wow so you could try that.

Who is the top right woman on the left side? I don’t recognize her

No longer a NEET but when I was I had very few bills. My parents paid for most of my living expenses and other things I funded by boosting other players in videogames mostly league of legends and RuneScape. I didn’t have a lot of autonomy but I also didn’t really want anything so it was never a real issue. Looking back on it it was very bleak but at the time I was happy enough playing video games and coding little projects. I rarely left the house maybe once a month. I don’t think the term is offensive.

Qobuz wouldn’t allow me to sign up with a proton alias. I also tried deezer but they wouldn’t stop sending spam. Out of the two I’d recommend deezer.
