Instaling World Eternal Online2/4/2024 ![]() ProtonGE - This next app is VERY helpful in getting games to work smoothly. I highly recommend to install Wine staging to get the latest updates. Wine is not an emulation layer, it just translates API calls. For those that dont know, Wine is just a way of running Windows games in Linux. Wine (staging - Install through Package Manger) - Wine is a big part of the gaming setups on Linux, specifically for games like Wow, FF14, etc all rely on Wine to work properly. Usually you will get folks on that website to give feedback on how well the game runs as well as their respective PC setup to give you an idea of what they're running. Gaming Clients and Apps: ProtonDB - Before even starting the install process, I highly recommend to go to and look to see if the game you're trying to play is actually supported with Proton on Linux. Although really old AMD GPUs, might need drivers (I believe it is for GPUs 7+ years old) Linux Updates - Make sure to always have the latest up to date OS before installing any apps. AMD Drivers (GPU) - If you're using an AMD GPU, the drivers (mesa) should be integrated in the kernel so you don't need to install anything. **But for the most part, these steps are pretty universal and should work on most Linux distributions if done correctly** Prerequisites: Nvidia Drivers (GPU) - Install through Package Manager, this is quite important for nvidia GPUs, you'd need to install proprietary drivers. Many folks use different distributions, different hardware, etc so there might some differences in the way that some of the packages are installed and/or configured. ![]() This post is not intended to be an exact instruction set on how to set everything up. I guess you can also say that this post is kind of inspired by the recent Linus Tech Tips Linux challenge, specifically around gaming. I wanted to make this post to try and help other folks with their gaming setup as it seems like this is still somewhat challenging for new users. ![]()
