So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

Playing games just using WINE can be difficult since there will usually be configuration missing. If possible, use something like Lutris.net or Heroic Launcher if the game isn't available on Steam.

Installing older games like that might work, but these other launchers do a lot on the background for you.
