I didn’t realize that, though it seems to run fine on my potato (Ryzen 5: 1400, 16GB DDR4, Radeon 6770) with the occasional stutter, locked at 30fps 1080p for the most part. I haven’t tried faster frame rates yet as I’m trying to mirror the feel of the game between both this system and my Deck.

Crossover and Wine are the OG compatibility layers for Windows gameplay on Linux, and while I can’t vouch for either one now, as Wine is the only one I used–back in the days of the original Unreal, I can say now that Steam’s Proton is fairly straightforward and simple. Pretty much, unless it has some sort of anti-cheat malware, like BattleEye, everything “just works.” … and usually, if the game employs anti-cheat, and they catch you playing (fairly) on Linux, you’re usually banned.
