There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

I put -opengl on the end of it and it worked great. Wasn't on release, but later when dota was popular.

Of course I would've forced OpenGL. DXVK didn't exist at the time and DirectX 8 or 9 games were unplayably laggy back in 2007. Apparently you could run DirectX apps with near-native performance by sourcing the necessary Windows DLL's but that would involve piracy?
