Nvidia’s DLSS will work with Vulkan API and Steam Proton on Linux from Tuesday – Computer – News

I’ve been gaming on Linux for years without any problems, on an Intel system with an nVidia card, although my next system will indeed be AMD.

Whether it can be done without problems depends a lot on which games you want to play. I mainly play some older games that usually also have a native version for Linux, such as Dota 2, Surviving Mars, Space Tyrant and Kerbal Space Program. The few Windows-only games I play are Halo MCC and GTA4, in the beginning they needed some minor tweaks to make them work, but now they run smoothly through Proton.

I do know people who play Cyberpunk 2077 or Horizon: Zero Dawn on Linux. Also for these games they didn’t work flawlessly when they came out, but if you have the patience to wait a few months then the issues are generally solved in Proton (and Wine). Only anti-cheat and some forms of DRM won’t work on Linux yet, because this kind of software does Windows-specific things on your system that you can’t do on Linux via Wine. But the suppliers of this software are also working on this, with some help/pressure from Valve.

edit: a good resource to see if the games you are interested in will work under Linux through Steam Play and Proton is https://www.protondb.com/. Incidentally, you are not dependent on Steam for the use of Proton, you can also Lutris Using Proton as a “runner” for your games on Battle.net and the Epic Game Launcher and of course also for the launchers themselves.
