No, AMD, i have a Radeon RX 5700 XT with the open source drivers. One of the sure-fire ways to crash the entire server seems to be trying to run Wizardry 6 from GOG via Wine, which essentially runs DOSBox for Windows. Somewhere when it tries to change video mode it crashes. Note that this doesn't happen if i use Gamescope under X (which essentially runs Wine under XWayland under its own Wayland compositor that runs in an X window).

Of course since this is a DOS game i can simply run it with native DOSBox, but this is just a way to replicate the issue.

Since i've found workarounds for these issues i didn't bother much, but i might try and see why it crashes at some point.

Also FWIW i do not really consider "gaming on Linux" when i have to use a Windows VM. Besides Wine (well, Wine staging) nowadays works perfectly fine. And if i wanted to use Windows, i'd just be using Windows :-P.

I would rather not reboot and run windows as a captive OS. Would you call using the Win11 android emulator gaming on Windows?

I'd rather not bother with Windows at all.

Thing is, with Proton and X I have a rock steady and capable env to do all of my gaming, and I have been doing so for years now. I've no need or desire to bring windows back into the mix.

Wayland messes that up, on top of frequent crashiness. Wayland does not solve any problem I have, but it does break most of the things that were working well.

I don't like windows either, just the best method to run 100% games.

That's all I get from the thread, it works well as long as you don't do anything other than use the browser.
