Gaijing is Linux friendly overall. War thunder has a native linux port.
They are just unfriendly to players wallets
The Linux version of the game is sometimes treated like an unloved stepchild though. I actually played the game through Wine for years because the Windows build had about twice the FPS on my Linux system.
There’s also a bug when reflections are enabled that makes the game unplayable and it hasn’t been fixed for about a year. It took them something like two years to fix another one where the mouse randomly left the window on a dual monitor setup and that one basically made me stop playing altogether. That said, I appreciate them supporting Linux in any case.
Added to wishlist
I remember playing this awhile ago it’s actually pretty solid from what I remember.
I’m an Enlisted veteran, the game is definitely in a healthier spot now that they’ve merged the campaigns into factions and made a lot of changes. The downside is that it has lost some degree of historical accuracy, but that may not matter to everyone.
It’s a very fun game but imperfect.
This doesn’t excite me tbh. So far my experience with Linux ports have been dominated by encountering weird glitches that nobody else seems to have and trying to solve them before realizing steam defaulted to native Linux again.
