This question may be rudimentary for a lot of people here, but since Microsoft has decided to stop supporting Windows 10 I have really thought about switching my PC that runs Final Fantasy 14 to a Linux box. So, the question is: Is anyone here playing this game on Linux, and how well does it run?

I have a relatively old PC, old enough so that I can’t upgrade it to Windows 11, but it plays Final Fantasy 14 just fine. So I assume on Linux the game will run OK. However, I worry that if there’s an extra layer with wine or some other emulation that it may run a little more sluggish.

Is Bazzite the way to go?

    Late to the comment section, but the game works pretty much on any distro, thanks to the XIVLauncher flatpak. I know the original launcher also works fine, but XIVL is such an improvement to the original, it really is worth trying out!

    Used it on OpenSUSE, Fedora, Debian, you name it.
