    Magic: The Gathering Arena? That has a platinum rating on proton DB so should work just fine on any modern Linux distro, like thousands of other games. No need for a dual boot unless you have one of a few problematic games.

          really? i haven’t installed steam in years. for a short while i was dualbooting steamos and debian. now you’re saying “install steam, and let steam install mtga”?

            Yes, I was shocked as well, since I always fucked around with wine and different launchers to get MTGA running and then they just released it on steam and it works like a charm (for mtga at least).

                Okay, I remember. It’s not as easy as clicking “install”. I had to add the game to my library and then click on the game in the library and there the gear icon. Then “Properties…”->“Compatibility”-> and then check “Force use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and then use “Proton Experimental”, its the default and for me always worked.
