So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might’ve been.

Been running it via Steam for a couple of years now, feels like native, runs smooth, and is stable. So I would recommend that you install it from Steam store then use the “-provider Portal” launch option to make it show the gw2 launcher and sign in normally.
