I’m running the GOG version of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition—a 2008 release—on Bazzite Linux at 1440p. I’m not using Steam either. I’m launching it through Heroic.

To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. The game runs flawlessly—every bit as smooth and stable as it does on Windows.

So let’s put this myth to rest: the idea that only Steam games run well on Linux is flat-out false. The era of needing Windows to play PC games? It’s over.

@atomicpoet Had hear of this flavor of Linux from Gamers Nexus. Looking forward to trying it out soon

I've had only three dodgy Linux gaming experiences in recent memory:

* Blade and Soul Neo: Didn't even get past the launcher. Probably anticheated to hell.

* Breath of Fire IV (GoG release). Works but doesn't map one of my gamepads correctly.

* Genshin Impact: Since some 5.x release, it works fine once it loads, but you have to turn off the network for 10 seconds during the load process.

Lutris is great even on a decidedly off-normal system (Void)
