I switched to Linux in 2008, and basically stopped gaming on PC entirely. I had Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles to fill the gaming urge for me. Then in 2018, when Proton came out, I finally started gaming on PC again. So, I feel you!
I switched in 2007, and until Proton came out I enjoyed 11 years of the finest Linux games, like OpenArena, Tux Racer, Oolite, Battle for Wesnoth, OpenTTD, and…that’s about it.
Lots of browsing Synaptic’s “games” category and reading package descriptions like “…is an engine that can be used to…”, “…game files can be created in…” and “…aimed at providing in the future…”
Same here, I also have a Deck so if something’s still flaky on linux I have my deck attached to my TV and can play most anything there. Also enjoy desktop mode on steam via the TV as well.
Nice. So I just need to update the mesa version whenever it arrives, and it should be faster now? Also, are there any disadvantages to using amdvlk instead of mesa?
The fact that you have the best AMD GPU but are still not able to run it at native 1440p says a lot. You are running it at 75% of 1440p and than have it upscaled using FSR. It runs alright I would say but I don’t think the performance really matches the visuals. It’s clearly not well optimized.
The performance for this game is garbage considering how poor the graphics are. Was a quick refund, I’ll wait for the ultra turbo deluxe goty edition for $20 in half a decade.
Having learned my lessons in the past, I’m now a patient gamer. It’s great to play a game 2 years (sometimes a year) after its release. By then they have patched all the annoying bugs and optimized the game.
Yes its the way to go and its a great way to save money. I try to spend a maximum of 50 per year. I usually grab a few things in the steam sale . I find it forces me to play through stuff and really think about if will I play it. It turns out 50 will go a long way and I usually end up with 8ish new games a year.

TBH I currently only “own” the game because of a voucher tied to my RX6600. Else I would have waited, too.
Sidenote: in 1080p it runs at ~50-60FPS without FSR (native resolution). Plays on Windows and Linux about evenly well, albeit that I have seen some graphical glitches (on Linux, did not try to reproduce them on Windows 10) e.g. my follower doing a bl*ckface for no reason.
People are saying this? Well I’m running it on Pop!_OS 3440x1440 with a Ryzen 5600 and 6900XT at at least 60fps. Unsure at the FSR or scaling level though, but it’s not bothering me. And my perception of performance and quality is what actually matters.
Am I missing something here? Rust on the Linux Kernel is in reference to the programming language, not the game so I can’t tell if you’re mistaking the OP’s topic or I’m missing your sarcasm.
Since you mention it, I’ll add that teams-for-linux works better for me than the official MS Teams in the browser. And for MS Office I haven’t had any trouble using LibreOffice as a replacement.
Yeah, I’m using both all the time. Funny that you mention the teams Problems. My camera 9nly works ok Linux Teams but not on Windows 😂
I’m already using libre office all the time - but aside from gaming I heard that office is the only reason to still use windows. But I just need any document editor - not ms office - so that’s a no brainer for me But for some people at work when MS documents are sent via email and edited - then sometim3s it just doesn’t cut it.
Productivity in general is the only reason to still use Windows. Office is a big one (though great alternatives like LO and OnlyOffice exist), but also Adobe products, pro audio software, etc.
I wonder how well the EA App will work - not because of Lutris, but because of how broken it is. Many people still cannot play games they have purchased for many months now. EA doesn’t care and is still selling games on Steam that are broken due to their shitty launcher. For a while, some solutions to keep using Origin worked, but not anymore, least for me.
On a different note: when will this update be out on Flathub? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere. Anyone knows?
I’ve been running the EA app through Lutris as just a regular program and it works “fine”, Sometimes it crashes on launch but all games I’ve played through it from Battlefield to Titanfall 2 have worked.
Funnily one of the things that got me to try Linux was the EA App randomly stopped working on my Win10 install. Seriously how has EA kept their desktop client such a buggy messes after all this time? Origin was a load of crap but I still had less issues overall with it.
Yes I’ve been running it like that too but sadly many games don’t work with the EA App at all. Just by a glance at the official forums one finds lots of threads complaining about it, asking how to keep using Origin instead and the like. Respectively on Steam, same complaints. I’m having the “you don’t own this game” issue with Mass Effect 3 since June now and there is no fix. And I own it of course. Been playing Multiplayer for years now. I was just hoping that with the integration to Lutris some of the issues might get addressed.
