Linux support for Poe 2

I know that Path of Exile 2 was developed for windows, but is there any chance that this game was tested on linux?
Steam does a nice job with proton. Would be very cool if GGG would test if it runs on steam with it.
I would like to start the game with everyone else on the 6th december, but im on linux and i will never go back to windows again. Even for Path of Exile 2.

Yeah, I'd also really like to know if anyone tested it under proton. I'll probably buy access either way, but it would make me quite relieved knowing there is a high chance of it working.

That said - the main reasons games don't work on Linux are DRM and anti-cheat. I don't think it's going to have either, so we should be good.

I'm also interested in this.
We could also know if it will be working on the Steamdeck.

Nobody has an answer?
Maybe someone in the beta has tested it.

I also want to know this. :)

Would be great if someone from GGG would check if it runs on Steamdeck.

Would like to get rid of Windows entirely and move to Linux for 100%.

Been years since I used Linux properly (still use it a a dumb node) but isn’t there some ‘windows emulator’ think it was called Wine or Vine or something?
Might be able to get PoE to run under that on a juicy PC

Good luck, rare to get official answers

We use Proton nowadays, and it's a native implementation of large portions of the Windows API under Linux, not an emulation.

Most games work, and PoE also runs on the Steam Deck (I have tested it myself), which is also a Linux box (you can even get to a proper desktop, work on the console and I was even considering installing i3 as my window manager on it for bragging rights).

Thing is: a native Linux implementation would be even better, and we do not know at the moment how well PoE2 will operate in a Proton environment, but I think I will test this a few days after the 11th, when I'm able to take my fingers off the EA for an hour or two.
