Thanks for opinion. I'm using already manjaro i3.
Exactly, it's MMO game give me error when starting.
I also install Witcher 3 with lutris and another game on steam is working fine.
Do you test performance on linux vs windows in games? Do you use some program to better performace or just use default?
I haven't tried any of the Witchers cuz I never liked the first game and I've never tried the sequels how they run on Linux. But I have a sort-of-a-friend who had run either of them on Arch Linux and AFAIK they ran just fine.
Personally I hate Lutris. Everything is too complicated there and almost never any game runs with it. I'm using only pure Wine and DXVK or sometimes D9VK. And don't count on Steam Proton bc it's a young fork of Wine. And while Steam Proton has some games at bronze or borked state of performance, I have the same games (such as GRID 2, for instance) running at platinum performance with Wine 5.7+ and DXVK 1.7:
90% of the games I've ever tried on Linux have worked just fine with Wine, DXVK and library override, even some MMO games, like Drift City Remastered which works out of the box. Recently I even got a funny experience: "Life is strange" native for Linux would give me only a black screen whereas the Windows version ran just fine without any problems.
Also, most of the games I play somehow run a lot better in Linux (natively or with Wine) than they do natively in Windows. Such games are GTA 5 and Mad Max. In Windows 7 I can never run GTA 5 at its highest settings bc frames fluctuate like crazy. In Linux I play GTA 5 at the highest settings with 60 FPS sharp, no matter what happens on the screen. Mad Max has a native Linux version and a Windows version. Guess what - the Windows version tends to drop frames from 60 to 15 in a specific region of the map. In the native Linux version that never happens.
I even ran some games you can't play nowadays on a modern system with Windows bc Windows cries about architectures and these games wouldn't even install: Twisted Metal 1 & 2. Other old games such as Carmageddon 1 & 2, Hard Truck Apocalypse or even NFS Underground 2 tend to crash in Windows a lot,
whereas nothing like that ever happens in Linux.
The only games I haven't been able to play in Linux so far (bc they ran without any fonts in the menus) were Project Torque (it's available on Steam), Next Stop 2 & 3. Oh, and WRC 2, which gave me just a blank white screen for unknown reasons but that's pretty much it.
So, about performance comparison, I'd say Linux beats Windows but whether a game would run or not depends on many things, one of which is the user's knowledge of how to get things done. I admit I don't know much either, I just do "trial and error" in most of the time. I also run the game not by clicking its exe but by typing "wine game.exe" in the terminal, so that I can see what errors (if any) will return and act accordingly.
