Linux is quietly gaining ground on Windows in the gaming space. But how well does it actually perform? Here's what I experienced.

    I think it was increasing vm.max_map_count. I had some weird glitches and it would crash after an hour or so, and this seems to have fixed it.

          Arch Linux already incremented vm.max count in a recent update, it seems fixed using these launch options: DXVK_MEMORY_LIMIT_MB=14384 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 gamemoderun %command%

          With latest Proton-GE
