Game launchers like GOG suits more to Linux open-source mode, free of all the locked-out DRM software bundles and they just run without all the software disturbances.

Yes, Steam has DRM-free games too but isn't quite DRM free, could be wrong though here.

So, I wanted to share this video

On Windows I can never get GPU usage to be reliably high for this game

It's not an issue with my GPU or CPU, it's just how Windows scheduler is written, as well as interactions between the game and DirectX and Vulkan

Linux CachyOS and Linux Mint both run the game imo flawlessly, compared to Windows 11

I just wish more people still played the original Insurgency, there is still 1 server that is almost always populated it's called something like "Classic Insurgency" and it usually picks up during middle of the day in USA.

I really like Sandstorm too, but original Insurgency just plays so good, and it's super responsive. The beauty of Source Engine is not lost on me

If you buy the game on Steam, just use Proton and you are good to go.

If you are on Windows, and game doesn't launch, then find a game file Insurgency64.exe in Steam Common folder and you can play it.

But, the fact that the game plays so well is only a nod of approval for Linux in my book.
