  1. lutris

    Lutris desktop client

    My advice would be to go to Protondb first and look at your Steam games and how it would fit. They are graded at Gold/Platinum/Silver in terms of compatibility. Alternatively you can try Lutris if your game is not in Steam. I think there are a few others but I can't recall any.

  3. mesa

    Discontinued Mesa 3D graphics library (read-only mirror of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/)

    No problems, AMD Adrenalin it's a part of Windows AMD drivers, but on Linux you have not this soft, here is link: https://github.com/Mesa3D/mesa

  4. HeroicGamesLauncher

    A games launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games for Linux, Windows and macOS.

    Heroic

  5. flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

    Flatpak

  6. Proton

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

    There's an official mini-guide on using your NTFS game drive on Linux, though I would strongly suggest trying to use it as-is without following the guide first! https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

  7. linux-tkg

    linux-tkg custom kernels

    Generally, Arch is the better platform for getting various kernel versions, but there's always stuff like Xanmod which is easy to do in any distro. Worst case, could always use linux-tkg script to build your own kernel - with that kind of hardware it shouldn't take long for the kernel to be built.
