Thing I would like:
Step-by-step instructions for installing a #Linux distro with Steam and non-Steam #FFXIV (i.e. using Square-Enix account) that will run both flawlessly. I have a Radeon 9060.
This is literally the last thing keeping me on Windows for personal use.
Note: I have administered Linux before, but decades ago, and a distro nobody uses anymore.
Please do not respond unless you have done the specific things I asked about above (i.e. no "this should work...")

So far I have gotten recommendations for multiple distros, ways to download the game, and possibly different ways to emulate a Windows environment (or at least to ensure Wine is installed).
I love you, OSS community; never change.

Big questions:
- what Linux distro has solid drivers for AMD and is dead simple/hands-off to maintain? Rock-solid audio would also be good.
- Install XIVLauncher/Wine via command line, distro's preferred package manager, or Lutris?
- Install XIV from Linux Steam? Run off a Windows partition? Install some other way?
- Update/patch XIV through Steam or XIVLauncher? Will they fight? Will XIVLauncher update an XIV install on a Windows partition from inside Linux? -
