It's been pretty consistently broken support. I've run into lot's of things like CK2 only working on xorg, HOI4 only working on x11 (or the other way around), Imperator not working unless you install some c++ runtime lib, EU4 not working at all at the moment for some reason, all on a pretty standard ubuntu 18.04. Some of those might not be the fault of paradox, but Imperator shows that they didn't even test running it on a stock install. I've had better luck with proton games, they don't always work but once they do I have far less regressions.

That's surprising. I'm on Slackware and literally every one of Paradox's strategy games I've tried (Stellaris, HOI4, CK2, EUIV, Imperator, in that order) works flawlessly out-of-the-box. Granted, I'm on Slackware64-current, so it's possible I've got newer driver/lib versions than Ubuntu 18.04. I'm also using FOSS drivers exclusively (primarily AMD, though I've played Stellaris on Intel GPUs with decent results, too), so if you're using Nvidia graphics, that might be a factor, too.

My experience is that Stellaris works REALLY great on Linux! Since I bought it two years ago, the experience has been flawless (on Ubuntu 18.04)

  I meant xorg and wayland but I just tried everything. Currently on wayland stellaris and EU4 won't start for me, I didn't even know stellaris was broken until now, that was one of the better working ones. On xorg they will all start but games are offset and sit below the top bar in gnome, The mouse isn't offset so it's completely unplayable. One of them used to work fine in xorg though, not sure which.
