Multiplayer games in Civilizations VI take much longer to load on Linux Mint than they used to on Windows. Multiple minutes now vs about half a minute previously. Once loaded it’s fine, no noticable differences between old and new. The longer loading times do become quite annoying when we need to reload/reconnect due to networking issues.
It’s going great. A bit of a learning curve at the start, but nothing difficult. I had a few minor issues along the way, but it’s all worth it, because I no longer get bothered by all the annoyances of Windows. My device is now managed, updated, etc by me instead of big tech that doesn’t serve my interests, feels much better.
I’m not sure if pickled is the right description, it for sure doesn’t give the right impression. It’s more like a salted or cured product and relatively fresh. It has nothing to do with the pickled sour herring in jars which can be conserved for a long time.
My experience is that all the things software you listed works on Linux Mint. Both the operating system and the programs were easy to install. With the exception of Proton Drive. There is no Linux version afaik and the third party software I tried did not fully sync everything. I’m still looking for a solution.
I’m running it through proton, didn’t get the audio on the native version to work
