I usually install updates as they pop up: drivers, apps, whatever. Between the 2 days of TF2 working and then TF2 not working, I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any real updates.
I’d recommend installing the flatpak. Tf2 stopped working for me when I upgraded to fedora 38. The flatpak seems to fix whatever dependency issue is causing it. It also fixes portal 2 and Gmod cause those also stopped launching on f38.
My only issue with Proton are crash and rendering issues related to ray tracing on certain games (probably Nvidia’s fault). Also, Halo master chief collection crash after a few minutes gameplay, but that’s might have something to do with the game being made by Microsoft. Other than that, it’s perfect. Even DLSS is working fine too.
I use Proton (Linux) for games where my hardware is overkill or my FPS is good enough.
But in games where the hardware is maxed and the FPS is below my preference. I use windows because there is still sometimes like a 10%-20% loss by running windows stuff from Linux.
In Steam Deck could be different because it’s more optimised maybe. There are exceptions that run better on Linux I understand (example: same FPS but less stuttering).
I find myself using desktop mode more on the Deck while docked than my Windows computer, that’s connected to the same monitor. Still trying to learn how to use programs like Bottles correctly, but once I do, I’m getting rid of the Windows computer.
Lutris is a python application, you can do git clone on the GitHub repo and you car run lutris from there. This will also use your config files as they are stored in your home directory.
On an additional note, install the locate package. It will create an index of ALL the files in your computer. Making searching for files a simple task.
Anyone know where the Linux version is? Steam only has Windows and Mac OS versions. GOG only has a Windows version.
I’m assuming there is a Linux version, because this has been posted on old.lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming . If that is incorrect, I can’t understand why it would be posted here.
There is no linux version. Steam/Valve has been updating their proton versions to work with BG3. I would recommend using their ‘proton experimental.’ If you buy from GOG, you can use Lutris, they have a runner that should install everything needed to run BG3, and it also lists some tweaks to make.
OS that didn’t report what it was, probably a mix of ancient windows installs and Linux and other OSs that resist fingerprinting so they don’t tell servers what they are.
This makes me really happy to see. Desktop Linux is fucking amazing nowadays. Gnome and KDE being as excellent as they are, Flatpak massively simplifying package management for end users, and Pipewire being Pipewire have all gone a long way in making desktop Linux more easily approachable and incredibly stable. If I’m allowed to be controversial, I’d include Wayland in that list as well.
People meme on electron, and I think most of it is deserved, but it does make a lot of stuff way easier for devs, and that means more software for users. There’s a reason it’s so popular.
