Cool. Can you run RDR2 under Linux?

  online - no. offline, with issues (audio crackling, crashes). So "evidently" it's a poor experience, at best.

  Good word, "sort of". I would imagine if your car would "sort of" work would you be willing to drive it?

    If I had to and there was no risk of injury. Much like how there’s no risk of injury here.

    Yes? Aircon in my car hasn't worked in over a year, why would I stop driving it. And that's beside the fact that RDR2 is a form of entertainment, whereas for a lot of people driving is a necessity. It's pretty easy to find games that run well on Linux.

    I keep having issues with the built in GPS in my car, and occasionally I’ll get a flash of an error message about the gearbox being in P while driving. One of the glow plugs is also alarming as being bad. My windows machine has a bunch of “unknown hardware” listed in device manager. It’s a fresh windows 10 install of a dell xps laptop. I’d say my car is doing better than my computer. At least Bluetooth works in my car.

Not only you can. It runs faster under Linux (if you have AMD GPU that is). https://flightlessmango.com/benchmarks/6RfJoH1N6IQ https://flightlessmango.com/benchmarks/6RfJoH1N6IQ

  Does it actually look the same though? I've tested many games under Linux and they ran faster because GPU drivers didn't support all the same Vulkan/OpenGL extensions and thus didn't actually render many effects. Which then makes these FPS comparisons a bit unfair since the GPU is actually under a lesser load.

    Theres youtube link on that page. https://youtu.be/6RfJoH1N6IQ https://youtu.be/6RfJoH1N6IQ you can compare yourself. Note that the game uses vulkan, thus it can render without any translation.
