As shown in protodb, it doesn't seem to be too much compatible yet. You can try to see if there is something available on Lutris or you can open an issue on GitHub (if it doesn't exist)
That’s truly odd, I’m running a Ryzen 5600G and a 6700XT and the game is rock solid (Fedora 38, Gnome, Wayland). Runs great on Steam Deck as well. I wonder if the RX580 is the culprit? If MESA is up to date, try a newer kernel for updated Radeon driver? (I assume as Ubuntu 22.04 is LTS that you’re on an older kernel)
Tbh i would still go with steam deck. I would rather deal with steam support than asus support. Steam has excellent track record of exemplary support, when i lost my account they recovered it within 3hours while providing me proper updates. While asus tried to back out of warranty by releasing a beta bios and added disclaimer saying using it void’s warranty but if you don’t use it, it might fry cpu. It could be honest mistake and it could be a placeholder text they add by default to every beta bios. But I would rather spend my days enjoy using my device not worrying about the manufacturer of the device I bought. Now if this asus vs some other manufacturer like msi then asus is the clear winner.
Thanks for sharing – I think that if I were to buy a handheld PC now, the ASUS ROG would be it. Having had a Steamdeck since release though, I don’t think I could go back to not having the sleep/resume function for gaming, especially on the go. It’s still not perfect for games that have some sort of always-online component (I don’t blame Steam OS for that), but it’s definitely the killer feature of the deck for me.
Still though, the smaller size, reported quietness, screen and performance of the ROG at it’s price point make me really excited for what options will be around when I decide to upgrade.
There is a lot of work towards making the Ally compatible by the team at ChimeraOS. Once they finish up, the Ally should have plenty of its features supported.
I axed Windows a while ago, I play exclusively on Linux with either my keyboard or a wired Xbox 1 controller. It fits my needs pretty well as I don’t play online or super recent games. Steam with wine/proton does a great job at running my games on my shitty x230.
For real, the world of Linux gaming owes a lot to Valve and to Proton's contributors. The last five years have taken gaming on Linux from a fiddly nightmare to, in many cases, performance as good as native. There has never been a better time to run Linux as your primary operating system.
I feel people are often not positive enough. I mean, in my experience, I think that in most cases, running games on Linux with Proton is as good as Windows. The exceptions are unsupported and not-enabled-for-Linux anti-cheat engines and some exceptions, like updates to certain non-Steam launchers breaking things.
Big thank you to all outsourced and Steam developers. Steam is the one of a few companies that most of the time actually do great things for their player base
No, but I had no major problem gaming with an Nvidia card on Tumbleweed. Just followed the wiki guide and added it to the zypper repos and everything was fine.
Yeah games mostly just work, and just as well as in Windows. It’s not slow or clunky. Some games require fiddling or won’t work at all but the majority are good.
I’ve almost completely switched over at this point. The only reason I really keep Windows around anymore is because of some specific games that use incompatible anti-cheat systems (like CoD), and for VR (although, I hear the Valve Index works almost perfectly on Linux, and projects like OpenHMD are getting closer to running Oculus on Linux too)
I started dual booting Linux back when Steam for Linux was reasonably new and Portal 2’s native port was on beta. Briefly went back to Windows after building a new, much powerful system for about a year, DXVK & later on Proton happened, and now all the games I care about work flawlessly.
There have been games on my Steam library that I never ran on Windows despite them not officially supporting Linux.
With the deck I seriously hope devs slowly but surely start thinking about native ports as well, but I won’t mind waiting another - uhh, 10?! - years for that to happen. I expect Steam Linux Runtime & Flatpak to be the DXVK & Proton of native ports - as in, the thing that will make them “viable” instead of “theoretically possible”. Win32 is still the most stable ABI on Linux after all.
