Does nobody play on Linux (native)?

[Gae Bottomski]

I booted up the game on my linux laptop a few days ago and there were 0 lobbies, even though I had no filters on, and my matchmaking was set to worldwide

To my knowledge, the Linux version was dropped by developers and is a couple of updates behind. And everything was pushed to run trough Epic's services cause they decided to sell out. So those two reasons combined is why you can't see others on Linux - outdated version and no epic integration that matches the current version on windows.

I play on linux, just I run it with proton.

Not 100% sure. Maybe you'd be able to play with others that match your version; check what's yours. The latest one is 240.7

Plus i'm not sure how many linux players continued playing after the Epic debacle. I guess I'd be pretty pissed if I were on Linux at the time that was happening. It was right before the release of the last heist in game too.

- EDIT: -
Also matchmaking runs trough Epic now, regardless if you're playing on Steam or not. Maybe the last Linux version is still using steam matchmaking; which can be forced, but barely anybody uses that option (unless it was removed).

If you're not playing it on Proton, like most people who are on Linux and still around here, then you'll be a on a different game version to everyone else, which is why you won't see anyone online.

I don't believe using -steamMM would help, since the game version would be different.

with native I get maybe 20 fps ingame, with proton i get 1 fps in the menu (I'm forced to use linux's own ♥♥♥♥♥♥ drivers because it won't let me install the ancient driver from nvidia's website)

What did you expected from steam users? Of course, we cannot properly read

tbf, if everyone answers "use proton" then you already got the answer, you don't see anyone (not sure if you'd even find anyone to begin with) because everyone is playing on the newest version using proton.
