This is one of the things I really like about using steam with Linux. For some of the old windows games I’ve tried they actually run better under proton than on modern windows. It helps you can easily swap to other compatibility tools like proton GE or Luxtorpeda.

GTA4 (with fusion fix) is a great example of this. Runs like dogshit on my system with Windows 11, runs butter smooth on the same hardware running Fedora 43.

Interesting. My experience differed quite a lot, for example Gabriel Knight 3 was almost impossible to get running, and when it finally worked it was lagging as hell.Gabriel Knight 2 had it's aspect ratios all over the place, it often switched to stretched after a cut scene, I found no fix for it online. The other one I tried was Realms of the Haunting, and it worked great until I reached the tower. From this point on it crashed every few minutes.
