Dwarf Fortress

I run Debian and have done nothing special to game on it. All native games I’ve installed run fine. Only non native game I play is WoW, and it runs fine. Though requires a GE proton update every now and then.

I have an AMD 6600 gpu.

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness.

Do these count as a counterexample?

Honestly I’d start with the default config file to see if you like the general workflow and then begin modifying as you see fit.  That’s how I started way back when I first learned i3.

Maybe first replace it’s default swaybar with the more customizable waybar.

Happy sway user here!  Not sure I could ever go back to a floating window manager.   I’m too used to tiling now.

Unreal World. Released in 1992. Though I didn’t first play until 2010ish when I moved to linux.
