Counter-Strike 2 System Requirements for Linux

CPU: OK ✅
RAM: OK ✅
GPU: OK ✅
Storage: WTF 🤯
Sound Card: The time has come and so have i 🎵😎
- rn downloading and its 33.3GB + 1.7GB shader cache
  
  Bought include both storage for downloaded compressed archives and then to unpack before deleting them?
  I've run into this when updating games where I have the game installed and enough space for the update but not enough for that middle ground when it's getting unpacked
  
  That's much more reasonable, I don't even have 85GB available. Why would they recommend that much storage?

I mean, I have that, but 85GB of space? I need some space left to store my offline backup of Wikipedia.
- all the knife skins
- I think it's closer to 45, might be a typo

Just played a match, it's working perfectly on Wayland and pipewire. I'm using -vulkan as a launch parameter.
- Coo, thanks for the info! FYI, the best place for those kind of Linux reviews is ProtonDB (here directly linked to the game). You can specify and filter for --launch-options, distro, GPU, ...

Especially VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library is interesting. This means mesa 23.1 or higher on AMD GPU's is a must. Iirc Nvidia supports vk gpl for a year or so.
- What does that mean for my RX 5600XT?
  
  The gpu supports gpl, but it depends on yoir distro and how Steam is installed which mesa version you have. What's you distro release? Native package manager or flatpa?
  
  Run vulkaninfo | grep VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library and see if it's there.
- That just says recommended - you likely get frame stutter without GPL but the game would probably smooth out after 5 minutes or so.
  
  Highly recommended in the minimum spec sheet is a must for me lol

Minimum:
CPU: A potato
RAM: One thousand ants
GPU: Your soul

Still not bad requirements at all

I wonder if it has a native Vulkan renderer now or it just has DXVK baked in. If the latter, bad news is it halves my framerate İN CS2LT on Windows.
- Source 2 has native Vulkan and DX11 suppport. CS2 on Linux uses Vulkan.
  
  Even without the '-vulkan' launch parameter?

Is Ubuntu is a requirement or am I misunderstanding?
- Technically I believe latest Ubuntu LTS and SteamOS (specifically on the Steam Deck) are the only officially supported distros for Steam
  
  AKA It also works on Mint.
- The steam runtime runs ubuntu anyway, so don't worry
- I believe steam only officially supports ubuntu, but it will work on any distro.
- Bit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).
  
  Have you noticed any artifacting when looking at smokes and molotoves? The "hot air" effect for me just displays purple glob sometimes.

It took me 3h to download and my gpu is too low... I have to change this shitty laptop
