minigalaxy VS Wine-Builds

Personally I use mini galaxy. https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/

Minigalaxy is great for native apps. Lutris is hit or miss for wine/DVXK.

E.g. Minigalaxy offers many of GoG Galaxys features (Tagging /u/anevilduck here in case he doesn't know it) and only has around 13500 lines of Code.

The official client isn't, but there is a 3rd party one available for Linux https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy

So long as you have a Vulkan capable GPU, you should be able to get almost all GOG games working. You could use Lutris with GOG Galaxy, Lutris with GOG offline installers or MiniGalaxy.

HeroicGamesLauncher / MiniGalaxy: Launcher alternative for the EpicGamesLauncher / GoG.

Besides there are other projects like https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy that has some of their coding from PlayNite and of their own to work on Linux and there are Tutorials like https://playnite.link/forum/thread-1156.html to make it work nonetheless. Also thanks to Steam's Proton layering, everything is easier at Linux gaming side.

Create a Wine prefix for COD WAW Plutonium. It can be a 32 bit or 64 bit Wine prefix. Plutonium works with Wine 8.0.1. You can download this version of wine and many other wine version from Kron4ek.

Download wine from here (download for x86).

Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.

Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)

Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.
