Might be able to get PoE to run under that on a juicy PC 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. Good to know, did say it’s been a few years. If Proton is essentially a UWP platform and your hardware is good enough you’re sorted imo Wouldn’t hold my breath for a dedicated Linux version, they’ve never done one and doubtful they have a team currently to do one. But all things change Last edited by Timbo Zero#8289 on Nov 27, 2024, 11:47:17 AM	Posted by Timbo Zero#8289 on Nov 27, 2024, 11:45:35 AM Quote this Post
A native client for linux is way to difficult, because they have to develop for 3 operatings systems then. I would just enough if everything just works with wine/proton. There are games that run better with proton then on a windows machine. I would be really fine with that, but maybe they have a few things to do for it. Thats the reason why i asked if it was tested from someone. Playing Poe 1 on linux for a while now and it works perfect.	Posted by bennisen#4006 on Nov 27, 2024, 12:25:13 PM Quote this Post

That’s a no, no one has tested it yet.	Posted by Timbo Zero#8289 on Nov 27, 2024, 1:37:21 PM Quote this Post
It will probably be easy to run in Steam with Proton Experimental, which is embedded in the client. However, it is best to wait and see first reports of the early access in ProtonDB.	Posted by Cuescado#5026 on Nov 28, 2024, 12:54:47 AM Quote this Post
To all the Linux users, I recommend using WSL. You get all the Linux functionality you need on top of your Windows. I use standalone Linux for low specs laptops only. Both due to the lack of need to pay for the OS, as well as because some Linux distros are both lightweight and offer a great UI, such as Zorin OS, which is an Ubuntu fork.
