Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

    Everytime you see an ad for a game, you should ask yourself: “does this run on Linux?” Majority of the time and the answer is yes. Just saying!

        I’m not familiar with this game but if Escape from Tarkov is what you mean, it’s not listed in Proton DB. It IS listed in Wine App DB: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=37794

        as Platinum with wine-staging 4.2 but that was from like 4 years ago and I don’t know what updates the game’s had since then.

        Only thing I can suggest is dual boot Linux and try it. Since I’ve only ever dual booted, I’m not so familiar with Linux VMs and containers so I don’t know if they’d work or if booting from a live environment USB would be sufficient to test the game with Wine.

        If you don’t dual boot, asking in one of the Linux Gaming communities might answer that question.

      Case in point, Deathloop runs nicely on my gaming PC and Steam Deck.
