From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"Runs like shit" is expected when you're relying on paging to system memory every frame, step 1 is to avoid a crash from oom/failed alloc.
The next step is to reduce paging if possible. I see C:S2 has a min spec of a 4GB GPU. Assuming they actually tuned their game for such a card on windows, the unfortunate reality of proton/DXVK is that there's a bit of a memory overhead and lack of knowledge about residency priority, especially when translating a dx11 game.
DX12 maps to Vulkan more closely, so my hope is that the
-force-d3d12flag would give DXVK better info to work with (ex. hopefully the game makes use of dx12 heaps and placed resources, which are 1:1 with vulkan concepts, and dxvk can make use of that to better ensure the most important resources don't get paged out).
