linux_gaming

TL;DR; tried gaming on Linux again after not having done so for ~10 years and am absolutely blown away by how much improved it is...

Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?...

My son is turning 9 and has been using his computer more and more. he has my old System76 wild dog from 2010, which is a great computer, but is way past the end of its life. He mostly plays minecraft and browser games, though he is doing more artistic stuff in gimp and even a bit of cad for our 3d printer or in blockbench....

What controller do you recommend for steam gaming? Is the ps5 controller good? I heard the Xbox controller had some latency issues. I’ve been using the ps4 controller and have noticed a slight amount of latency.

I’ve been trying to stream my non-steam games from Arch Linux(host) using Steam Runtime but after opening the game no video gets to the Steam Deck(client). I can stream Steam games just fine but I have noticed that non-steam games don’t load the steam overlay either....

Just loaded up Halo Infinite on PopOS and it ran flawlessly. I’m blown away, and am now looking at moving up my plans to switch away from Windows for my desktop. The future of Linux gaming is bright!

I’ve got a new 7840HS laptop, and have noticed some stability issues with games on Steam under Proton that run fine on my desktop with a 5700xt. I know the 7840 line is pretty new and not a lot out in the world yet, but has anyone noticed similar issues?

i’m on Nobara project trying to run OW2 through lutris, it runs perfectly fine it’s just locked at 60 fps visually but the in game FPS counter says 300+...

Im trying to install a game through Lutris using the game’s installer and I keep coming across the same error that I can’t really find much information on. It seems to be an issue with dotnet itself or the actual game installer and not WINE though, so I am unsure how to proceed....

Hey everyone,...

I’m using arch with KDE Wayland and nvidia, ever since I did fresh install cyberpunk 2077 launches with a balck screen in the launcher, but I can still click elements in it, and trying to launch the game prompts and error saying its currupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no avial. Any advice?

Every time I launch 2077 it glitches its way through a few frozen screens from the intro then flatlines....

I’ve never played any Baldurs Gate, but am interested in playing the upcoming one. Checking proton db, it looks like the previous games had good Linux support (even native support?)....

31 bugs were noted as solved with this release including fixes for: Combat Mission Shock Force (a bug from 2007!), Starcraft II, Flutter SDK, Excel 2016, Harry Potter Magic Awakened and plenty more miscellaneous fixes for expected behaviour of Windows apps.

Last month The RADV ray-tracing pipelines support was enabled by default but then later disabled for VanGogh APUs, notably the Steam Deck. Now though with the latest ray-tracing code in Mesa 23.2-devel the RADV driver is no longer blocking the support for VanGogh.

I am using Arch linux on a nvidia machine with the latest nvidia package, and the default linux kernel. I have noticed steam takes forever to launch and seems to loop, this happens on both xorg and wayland...

SIMPLE DOCKER FULL OS FOR SIMPLE CLOUD GAMING...

SF6 runs like a charm on the steam deck so I figured it would run fine on my desktop with Pop_OS. It doesn’t seem to launch at all, nothing happens when I click the launch button....
