Thanks to OpenMW, my SteamDeck has become a "Morrowind machine" -- it runs so well and it's so convenient to have all that world with me on the go. You can use https://luxtorpeda.gitlab.io which registers as one of the runtimes Steam uses to launch games -- Proton being one of them -- and behind the scenes Luxtorpeda will download and run OpenMW instead of Morrowind.exe.




question, do you use the Linux native version of OpenMW or the Windows native version via Proton?

Anecdotally i've heard some of the windows/proton versions of games have better performance than linux natives of the same game?

So theres this weird situation now where some windows native versions of games run better on linux than on windows and also run better than the linux native versions lol.
