    I haven’t run a Linux machine in years. Has wine improved or was I just not savvy enough to get things to run on it?

      It’s gotten significantly better since ~2010 or so when I was first struggling with it. Valve developing Proton on top of it definitely didn’t hurt even if that in particular is more games focused.

        I’ve used it for some windows only programs and it works great, the only gripe I could have is the one looks different because of the fonts. I’m sure I could add in the fonts or w/e and make it identical though.

      It can’t run literally everything, but it’s pretty damn good, in my opinion. Not that I find myself needing to run a whole lot with it, though.

        How’s the blizz launcher now? I bailed and went to ffxiv and that plays flawlessly. I keep trying to talk myself out of going back to wow because of how toxic it became.

          It runs about as well as it does under Windows. I’m not currently interested in paying another subscription - feels like too much pressure and the amount I spent on WoW over the years is distressing.

          I’ve been playing GW2 since December and it also runs well with Wine.
