I haven’t made the switch yet, and I want to know if Linux can run my favorite games.

      Have it on GOG and play via heroic. I get 80+ FPS at high settings @1440p (balanced FSR), AMD R7 5800x, RX 7600XT. This is on Arch.

      I had to use winetricks to install some DLLs to the prefix in order for the game to work properly with mods, but beyond that I’ve had no issues.

      there are a few options to make gog/epic games works with heroic, if it doesn’t work out of the box :

      • using proton from steam/GE
      • using steam runtime
      • using protondb to know what to tweak the launch options or windows component to download via wine tricks
      • copy the game in steam.

      I’ve seen that a protondb user posted about cyberpunk 2077 working on heroic launcher. I hope you’ll manage to have it too.

      Exactly the same issue with me, I bought it on Good Old Games when I used to run windows as I love the premise of GOG, a similar ethos to Linux of actually owning software - but steam proton is just infinitely more practical.
