    Deluge is great too (and potentially easier to install from distribution repositories for Linux users).

      qBittorrent should be packaged in most distros as well. I do prefer Deluge as well.

        I've always stood by Transmission myself. Most distros ship it with the GTK interface, but it has a QT interface as well if you compile it yourself. I've only used the QT interface on Windows though.

          It a bit basic if you want to get into private trackers and have a massive amount of seeding torrents.
          ruTorrent is usually recommended at that scale, but I can't stand it and it's API is shitty.
          Deluge is a happy medium even though it chokes past 2k.
          Yeah I'm not sure what's up with the GTK/Qt split for transmission, I've always thought it to be a GNOME-adjecent project.

        No, but apparently it runs fine on the latest version of Proton (https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/1336777322607734784)

          I can't seem to get it to run under proton, but I also don't have the latest mesa git version so it might be that.

        I felt for sure it was unavailable on Debian stable, even checked first, but I made a typo - you're right, it's available even there.

            I assume you meant CDPR and no, they did not (or to be more precise, they did but it only runs on Stadia's servers and they didn't release it). However, there are now tons of people reporting it works with wine+d3vk-proton, both on AMD cards and (more surprising) on nvidia cards. Apparently performances are great (albeit less so on nvidia).

              Forgot that witcherino never got a proper linux release. Do folks actually use stadia?

                I've no idea but it's infuriating that they actually went to the trouble of doing a Linux port (all games on Stadia run on Debian servers) and not do the small amount of work (removing the Stadia layer / plugging in SDL or similar instead) required to publish that port publicly.

      Deluge is probably better for gnome, xfce, and budgie users, qbittorrent is easily the best for kde users though.
