The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more frames compared to Windows 11.
The hardware used for testing included an Asrock B550 motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU from the first RDNA generation, along with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. The CPU, RAM, and GPU were overclocked, and the system utilized undervolting to save energy costs.
When testing the game at 1080p resolution with high textures, the Linux system achieved an average of 63.72 frames per second (fps), while Windows 11 managed only 48.55 fps. This suggests that the game should run noticeably smoother on the Linux system.
I can definitely add it to steam as a non steam game but which drop-down? Would be awesome if this worked, thank you!
Oh and I played it exactly how I'm playing it now but not on steam, heck idk I just have a cyberpunk icon I click to open it on win11, I don't open it with steam or anything but will try for the dropdown

Oh! You're talking about getting it to work on Linux sorry I was so confused. So I can use the same cyberpunk setup.exe on Linux or do I have to download a different one? This is great news didn't realize it would be so simple

Not sure we're on the same page, I have installed it and it runs, just not as smoothly as it did before.
But you're talking about something having to run in the background to emulate steam since I've installed from elsewhere, correct?
How could I use bottles or lutris?

I'm sorry, I've been confusing myself in the comments haha thought you were advising about how to get the windows version to run better now realize we're on Linux sorry!
So lutris is for running windows .exe on Linux! Good to know, and no I'm not dual booting yet just windows 11 just considering install Ubuntu/fedora or something to dual boot with and running cyberpunk from it instead of win11, or just going back to win10 and seeing if it helps
