I'm fully Linux for two years now, have played ~140 games and had a total of 2 major issues and 2 minor issues with games:

  • Cyberpunk 2077 (at least before the 2.0 update) crashed frequently because of a called function that the nvidia gpu driver couldn’t handle. Since I switched to AMD this has been resolved and I had no issue whatsoever, even modded
  • Minecraft has a memory freeing issue when using an AMD GPU (kinda ironic) which causes the game to crash every 3-5 hours or so. This is resolved by either restarting the game gracefully every few hours or not being an addict
  • I couldn’t get achievements to log for Return to Moria on any proton version I had. Kind of silly problem but I’m an achievement hunter so it still annoys me
  • the windows version of fear and hunger via proton runs better than the native Linux version, especially on steam deck. It’s weird but I don’t make the rules

Damn, that Minecraft issue sucks. Have you tried using launchers, different Java versions, and performance mods? I’m on AMD GPU and I have no issues with Minecraft on Prism launcher. Prob better performance than Windows, but I never had it to compare

I only used native Minecraft and the normal Minecraft launcher, idk this issue might’ve been resolved
