Anybody has experience with GW2 on Linux? (lemm.ee)

So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

For the most part, it works better on Linux using GE-Proton than it did on Windows. But there are some weird issues with the Action Camera:

If you talk to an NPC with it active, you sometimes have to alt-tab to get it back, and if you have multiple monitors, sometimes your cursor will zip off to said monitor.

Other than that, it runs flawlessly!
