On CS2 Wayland gave a major performance boost, but it's being held back by a regression since a change in device input layer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3856 From outside it's hard to tell if it's truly protocol differences or just the age of the implementations on X11, but when Wayland came out every project has claimed improvements over the old X11 stack. Also, from the early Wayland days presentations bashed the protocol as something that couldn't be fixed without a rework that was not going to happen due to the dead weight of backwards compatibility and awful older hardware. As a user applications running on Wayland have consistently improved on how nice things feel if you don't miss your latency deadlines. It's easy to perceive on apps, and straight out obvious in games.

Someone mentioned how they were testing it in the linked Github issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2630#... EDIT: formatting x 2

I experienced the trust factor (banning, w/o banning officially) issues on my Linux CS:GO account in 2021, dropping to yellow and then red. This made it difficult to find teammates, as I was constantly matched with cheaters. I discovered I wasn't alone, as many other Linux users with Radeon GPUs and 16GB+ VRAM were experiencing similar problems. We created a GitHub issue to track the problem and try to find a solution: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2630 After some investigation, we found that Valve was punishing Linux users with certain hardware configurations (radeon cards with >=16GB of VRAM, which were quite new at this time). Eventually, after a user reached out to gaben directly, the issue was fixed: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2630#... I suspect this was because Valve was preparing

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3256 I'm using pipewire for audio so passing `-sdlaudiodriver pipewire` to the game fixed it for me.

> Steam now has >80% of the Top-100 Windows games running on Linux. When it works. CSGO claims to work on Linux but has stopped working for many months now. There is a fix that includes changing a library but you risk getting banned by anticheat. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659 It has been going on for almost a year. If you want to game, you should just to dual boot Windows or buy a console.
