Just a heads up, if you play a lot of Japanese games. I have had incredible trouble playing pretty much any Japanese game that isn't potato-esq since switching to Linux. I figured I'd get that out there. I gave up on playing them, which stinks because there are some very interesting games out there to play. If I can emulate, I do. But anything from Steam would just crash, within 10-20 minutes of playing them.
Its because you need the Japanese locale that windows uses.
Idk, because there are games that were Western ports without any Japanese in them. But also I don't really care, because what I want to play are now probably all considered "retro" games and I just emulate them instead. That works fine.
