just installed a totally legitimate copy of gta iv that I've had for over 10 years on my HDD. I remember it being a pain in the arse to get to run on windows, and it ran like shit even with very good HW. it installed fine on mint, ran without any fiddling in lutris, and it's butter smooth. wtf.

The nice thing about gta 4 on linux is that you don't even need to manually bother with dxvk, which people also use on windows because it improves the game's performance.
