• Neverwinter Nights

  • It was the first native Linux game I've ever played and I enjoyed every minute of it.

• Unreal Tournament 99/2004

  • It was fun when my reflexes were better. I can't stand no chance anymore since I got old 🤣

• RTCW, Wolf:ET

  • Not as fast-paced as UT99 but still enjoyable.

• Metro Last Light/Redux/Exodus

  • I've played Metro 2033 on Win7 and was really surprised about Metro Last Light being ported to Linux. It was a pretty good port IIRC. Metro Exodus was also really enjoyable but I'm a bit disappointed about the enhanced edition not being ported to Linux.

• BioShock: Infinite

  • Just as I was ready to give up on trying to get B:I running on Wine, 2k dropped the bomb. VirtualProgramming's Linux ports aren't popular, but it wasn't that bad TBH.

• Serious Sam 3: BFE / Fusion 2017

  • SS3 was really showing me the limits of my old AMD GPU but with a more recent one and Fusion 2017's Vulkan power everything went fine.

/me runs Debian on his gaming laptop

@Ulu-Mulu-no-die Just for the sake of completeness, AMD runs smooth even on laptops thanks to open source drivers but nowadays I'd also rather recommend getting a steam deck. My ASUS GL702ZC is more or less becoming a dust catcher since I have one.

@sugar_in_your_tea @Privatepower42 I've got some tar.xz compressed archives with win32 or win64 Steam games and Proton on my NAS. Sometimes one needs to replace the steam_api.dll or steam_api64.dll if the game relies upon it but it works most of the time. I'm downloading them with steamcmd.
