Gaming on both Windows and Linux environment.

Windows version run on Windows, of course game run out of the box! But expect slower performance when your city become big!

Linux native version, able to run, able to see main menu, able to start a new fresh new game. But if you load saved games or when your game become big, you need more SWAP! (You can use either swap partition or swap file, I prefer using swap partition) I recommend 32 GB of swap. Another hit and miss, if you use TM:PE mod, you need to use the TEST version, not the STABLE (so far the TEST version is stable enough, it just have more recent features). Looks and perform similar like the Windows version run on Windows. I recommend to install mono-runtime package from your distribution just in case.

Windows version run on Linux via Proton (6.3). Run OK. Slight more performance, but the texture is just ... OK. Not terrible but not really good compared to the rest version. Also you need to workaround with (by disabling) the Paradox launcher. Also the game will become heavier soon. Not recommend running this game via Proton.

Oh, if you like city building game, this is the best game out there! Just grab it!

I am NOT using Arch btw. When playing this game on Linux, I'm using openSUSE 15.3 with Plasma 5.18. Your experience playing this game on Linux may varies.
